Default MT 18" Drag Radials.

Does anyone know what sizes MT is going to offer when the 18" are available?

Thanks

I wish Mickey Thompson would get these tires in the new sizes to market. It's been forever and I know the demand is there.
Here is a link to the new catalog that will show you the sizes planed.

I spoke with MT a couple weeks ago because my BFGs were toast and needed something now. They said the 18" would be out around the end of May/June timeframe. I asked if they had any prototypes that I could test for them. They said none exist.

My new BFGs are doing just fine.

That's ridiculous. It's gets old with them constantly moving the date back. That's why I was interested because my Nittos are toast. I don't see why they won't make them with so many people ready to buy.

someone was just telling me they called a rep at MT a few weeks back and the rep stated that they decided not to make the larger sizes

"someone?" I just talked to a rep at Evod Industries...he said that the new sizes will be available by mid March...... you can contact him at sales@evodindustries.com.. Pricing was not yet available.

update: Just talked with a sales rep at M T....he said the 18" ET Street Radials will be available at Discount Tire and America's Tire by May/June....they are definately going to produce these sizes.
