Default Anyone running the MT 28x10.5 Pro Bracket Tire

Looking to get a set, I've read good results.
Wondering how they fit on a 10" rim. I think their alittle wider and alittle shorter than the 275 Pro I'm running now.

Zero experience! But have heard good things from people that use them. Nice consistent traction. One guy I seen him running a bracket s-10 and he said he was happy with them.

I'm curious on the same thing. Ive had great luck with the pro radials so I'm a bit hard pressed on changing them up when the work so well. What's the difference between the construction of the pro bracket and pro radial?

I'm guessing the difference is in the compound.
I guess it's "the new big thing."
My car ran the same with the 275 Drag Radial and the 275 Pro.
I need new tires so I guess I'm going to try the Pro Bracket.

Here's the specs on them, including section width:

I switched from M/T Drag Slick (bias-ply) to the new M/T Pro Bracket Drag Radial and picked up 3/10th and 2-3 mph. Amazing consistency on my 4000 llb car running 9.6-9.7s at 140-141 mph

Good enough for me! I'm sold...

This is exactly what I have been needing. Because 28" bias ply are too big only because they grow (and rub my fender) which is why I'm running M/T Drag radials now, but I'd rather have the radial slick.

So how will they work with a 2800lb car with brake that runs 9.90s? What kind of pressures do you run vs a bias ply tire. I was looking at these at a bracket race the other weekend. Guy a few spots down from me had them.

Always hear 17 to 18psi. Good shocks help keep them planted.

That is amazing. Don't think I'll pick up that much, I'll be happy with a 1/10.
Got to get my 60's back down in the low 1.30's.

In the pros I run 17psi and would probably run the same in the bracket tires. Viking coil overs front and rear have given me tremendous consistency

I'm running the 26x10 pro bracket radial and also have very consistent 60' times in the mid 1.5's. Good luck with your choice. I don't think you will be disappointed with the 28" version.

Debating on the 29.5 size, or a set of 29.5s slicks. Just don't know if the radial is going to have the consistency with varying track conditions.
