Default Best 60' using MT's 275/50/15 drag radials with a M6.

Just wandering if people have been able to 60' these tires and to see if it would be able to match my et drags 26/10/15's in performance.

60' will also be dtermined by (1) which clutch (clamping power) and (2) rwhp

Stating those is replies will give better insight to the 60'.

Just a thought.

The street radials are bad tires. I had some 275/50/15's and they hooked on the street.

I have ran a 1.53 with a Spec III clutch slipping it on them. Some suspension too. I'm sure there are some better one's out there though.

The best I got with mine was a 1.69, but then I swiched to slicks and the best I got is a 1.49. Very big difference in 60fts in a manual tranny..
