Default Tried new released 295x45x17 MT DRs

So far they seam pretty good but hook better on street than 275 M/T DR. They measures 86 inch's rollout and that comes out to 27.4 tall. I wish I could get this tire in a 26 inch's tall. 275 hook good too but is way shorter than they advertize and looks stupid or rear of a C5.

Where did you get them? Sounds like a perfect tire size for me as I have a m12 gearbox and 3.90's. I'd like to shed some of my gearing.

I have M/T 305 35r18 coming. They will be here next week hopefully.

What kind of 60's are you cutting with your M/Ts ?
What pressure you running ?
Burnout yes or no ??
