Default Anyone using M&H drag radials with a turbo setup?

Anyone on here using the M&H drag radials with a turbo setup specifically on the street? If so please tell me what tire and a little about your setup & if they work or not. I have been using the M&H 325/45/17 drag radials on my 17's for the last couple years. These tires worked stellar on my nitrous setup also with qa1,s torque arm, adjustable lca's, sfc's ect, and I do NOT want to part ways with using them. My car will be running again with the new setup in a few weeks but I am trying to decide if I need to shop for bigs and littles.

Im using them on my car. Have a Procharged Z28 (754rwhp/707rwtq). I must say they hook pretty damn good on the street. Ive got on it in 1st and they hooked pretty decent. The car just didnt blow them off. I would stick with them if I were you. If they can handle the instant hit of nitrous then they should be good with the turbo. What kind of power are you looking for?

I like what I am hearing from you. What kinda suspension mods do you have? My car had a 4l60e in it I could spray the car about 20 feet out and it would dead hook on the street with a 100-125 shot. I switched to a TH400 now. We are hoping the everyday tune on medium boost will make 750-800. The car will have some lag it's a GT-88 on a 347. I am pretty sure there wont be a problem with the car hooking from a dig i'm just not sure if that turbo is going to shock those tires when it gets into boost.

Ive got full suspension. K-member, LCAs, QA1's on all four corners, etc. I was really suprised it didnt blow the tires off when I got on it in first the other day.
