I was about to order my MT ET Drags 26X15X10 Saturday but I noticed M&H makes a 26X15X12. With my rims (Centerline warrior 15x10) I did some measuring and with the backspacing on my rims I think this tire will fit. Is it overkill? Will this add too much rotating mass?

I am a H/C car with SS4000 stall. 3:23's,426rwhp, race weight 3552 lbs.

I am not done making it faster so I would expect my rwhp to go up in the near future. At least to around 500.

Please answer this and I am done with my drag tire Q's cause I know you guys are probubly getting tired of me :)

Id wait for the MT drag radials to come out , some of the guys testing them are showing 1mph gains and 1 to 1 1/2 tenths over the ET streets.

for an auto car, i would def run the et drags. they are proven to hook damn hard and are much more consistent than any dot drag tire.

OK thanks for the advice. I will go order the ET Drags after work.

It is good to have this section becuase I am trying to get into this drag racing thing without alot friends and family in the sport. Most of you have fathers that introduce you into this hobby. I am jumping in cold turkey. Couldnt do it without you guys.
