I've been thinking about getting a set of these to try out. I am going to race in the Fastest Street Car shootout in Orlando, FL this year. I'll be running drag radial class. The 32 car qualifying field last year was from 8.70-11.70 ET. I plan to be running 9's but will have to do with a drag radial tire. Those look pretty sweet.

Heck I don't care about the price, I just want to be able to hook half way decent. I can control the launch rpm with the 2 step if need be.

Can they be run with a radial front or will they handle horribly with a front radial? I have ET Streets in the rear with a Nitto up front and I hate the feeling. Thanks.

Great pics, thanks!!!
From what I was told by the guy at M&H, they will perform much better than their drag radial and they should be fine with a front radial. Of course, 'fine' for him may be different then 'fine' for you. I plan on getting these but my car will be in pieces until July (if I'm lucky).

I had a set of the M&H's (275/50/15's) on my car since the first of the year running a radial on the front and have had no problems driving at all..If fact our local track is a 160 mile round trip from my house and the tires drive very well even on La. Roads...
IMOP much better then a ET Street..

They are not radial, they are bias ply AFAIK.
That exactly why I bought them. Great street and strip tire. I want to drive to the track bust out high 10s low 11's and drive home. No tire swapping, no screwing around
That is the meaning of a true street/strip car imo
