simply awesome. if these hook as well as they look like they do they just may kill off the bfg dr. and as for wear, if they arent too much $$$ wear shouldnt be much of a concern

How are the M&H compared to the BFGs in terms of streetability and daily driving? I am looking at the 315/60R15 BFG DRs...Thanks!

THe m&h's are more like et streets. they will drive the same. Bfg's will be better for the street use. m&h's better at the track and all around traction.

The M/T dude at SEMA(where the pic was taken) said that 275-60r15's should be out in January, then the other sizes will follow.

Good lookin' tire! ET Street Drag Radial is the name.

Just got an email back from MT - they are shooting for a March/April release date for these tires. Not too far off but too long for me to wait...

I got to see them at the PRI trade show. They look very nice, and seem very sticky

No not yet, 25 sets (50 tires) were released to a select few for testing and race testing through a west coast distributor. I got 2 sets for testing and to fit on my car. I think they will be released end of next month.

I can tell you guys this; no tire on the market will hold a candle to them if anyone wants to compare them to a BFG or Nitto. they are soft and hook!

100% of the cars went faster with the MT tires over other Radial Tires. Some as much as 4 tenths (9.0 1/4 mile to 8.60 1/4 mile)
