Default Before I order M&H...

Since MT is having issues I started looking into the M&H tires. I have two questions: Traction wise, how do they compare to other DRs? and Is there any reason I shouldn't go with the 325/45/17 on my car? I have the standard ZR1 style rims not exactly sure of the width but I do hear that M&H tend to be smaller than advertised.

My friend has them. Make sure you have adjustable lower control arms or they will be sitting against the body. You need to center them in the wheel well because they just barely fit. They dont look all that wide. He has them on some silver 17" 10 spokes.

6 speeds with shock the tires a lot harder than an auto would. A stiff sidewall slick will work better with an A4 than it would with a M6. You want some flex in your sidewall if you have a M6.

that's why i am gonna try some hoosier 315s. Apparently they are wicked sticky and have a soft side wall. Not to mention a better price tag!
