Default Anyone test a M/T drag radial?

I might buy a set of these so I can drive to and from the track.
I dont wanna depend on slicks and having to trailer the car all the time.

Any results....

Well I called Keystone Auto who I work for and they have the following sizes in stock

275/50/15
275/60/15
325/50/15
255/50/16--->Stock 16in Camaro or TA size
NO 275/40/17's YET.

I was gonna buy 275/60/15's for my Welds.
I just wanted to know how good they are before dropping the coin.

Well MT has not released the tires for sale yet... They are NOT set to release them to any dealers/distributors till june or july... so what I mean is I really dont know how any dealer would have 15 sets of them. I just want to make sure we are talking M/T DRAG RADIALS and not MT ET Streets..

But if they have 15 sets I am sure alot of people would love to get them.

Hmmm... next question is what back spacing do you have on the 15x10? is the rear shortened???

Wonder what the 325/50/15s would look like with that extra 2" of contact patch.

It was never an Ls1 car.. mwahhhahhhhaaaa (evil lauf) anyone want a V6 with an auto tranny?

I am using a 6 inch BS on that wheel and yes the rear end is shortened 2 inches per side (4 inches total on the rearend).

When I get the car in Orlando trim it will have a 315 or 325 if i can fit it.

I just talked to M/T and the new drag radials are only "on the trucks" right now which means the trucks that attend the races.

I am trying to get a set of 275-60-15's so we can test a set at N vs S. Wish me luck.

I stand corrected,Keystone never changed part numbers on the New M/T line.
They had the wrong numbers in the puter,I just called my M/T rep.

Johnny u always gotta be right
Sorry Outlaw I guess I got ahead of myself again

I know what it looks like on a 15x10 with a 5" bs on a rear end that's 3" narrower per side.
