Ever try M&H Racemasters? I love mine. But I stepped up to a 28 inch tall tire.

I don’t recall them making that tire in a 19 but I do know they made a 18” 345 tire.

The 325/30/19 MT ET Street SS were unstable at high speeds. Not sure if MT fixed the issue. I have since sold mine and moved to the 345/35/18 with no issues.

I had MT 305/ 20s for the street. Damn things scared me half to death, floaty and vague. Sold em. Will be looking for 305/40/17 soon.

Soft compound and soft sidewall just won’t be super stable at higher speeds. I like my M&H’s better personally. I’d only run the MT’s for 1/4 mile stuff.
