I need some 17", 28" tall DR's for my new set-up.
Looking at all the sizes and it's hard to find anything in 17".
Anybody got any suggestions???

I know the M&H 275/50/17 is a 28" tall tire, But is the MT 295/45/17 the same size??
I'd like the 295 width, but I need the 50 height.

I would recommend looking into the M/T drag radial or the Hoosier. Both work great, and while I personally prefer the Hoosier drag radial it does offer a shorter life than the Mickey does.

My biggest concern is the height. I really want a true 28" tall tire.
Im running 4:56 gears so the 28" is important.
Does hoosier make a 28" DR in a 17?

I apologize I dnt believe Hoosier does offer a 28inch tall drag radial for a 17inch wheel.

If they do I cant find them..
So I think my only option for a true 28" DR in a 17 is M&H.
Thanks for the reply's guys.
