Default M/t's

A guy running PSCA ( a west coast heads up class) went from his BFG'S to these back to back same day and picked up a tenth.. 9.05 to 8.95...Just remember what they did to the DOT approved classes in 1997 when the ET Streets came out.....5 right off the bat vs M&H...

I will guarantee they wont dissapoint...Records will fall with these...

I don't know how they will wear, but I have a real strong feeling that they weren't built to wear well, they were built to outrun the BFG drag radial in the drag radial classes that are running low 8's. I know I want a set of 315/60's ASAP. I'm going to PRI to try to scam a set..

Thumbs up

Wow those look hot, I bet they'll be a big hit especially if they're priced competitively with the BFGs.
Keep in mind also that BFG will probably be releasing the new g-force style tread pattern/compound in new sizes (other than the import and Corvette sizes that they come in currently) eventually and they could perform even better than the current Comp TA style DRs.

I'd love to grab these bad boys for my LS1 once the BFG's wear out. Course, if it were up to me as far as money goes I'd be driving around on nothing but slicks illegally.. So wear doesn't really bother me Cost however does.. Any idea on what these badboys will set me back?

mike: Does M&H make any 17 inch street tires? How well do your tires hook compaired to BFGS?

DISTORTION69-if you look on jegs.com you can see all the racemaster tire sizes.i have the 305/40/16 and compaired to bfg they hook 100% better.on bfg i cut 1.81 60's.with m&h racemasters i cut a best of 1.59 and pulled the wheels off the ground.they hook on the streets as well.i like them better then et-streets too.
