Is a 325 M/T drag radial too much tire?
Is it too much tire for a h/c car....maybe spray in the future.
It is a 6 speed car, and I want to make sure that I can get out of the hole as quick and as hard as I possibly can.
Thanks guys
Mike

I don't think MT reccommends those tires for a stick car. The M6 shocks them too much and they break loose. They didn't work for me on the t brake.
MT says they are for auto cars off the footbrake.
Maybe some ET streets or Drags would be better?

the fastest drag radial car in teh world (by far) runs the 325 m/t radial. runs 7.50s @ 190 or so. david wolfe driving the black turbo mustang fox body.
its enough tire if you properly setup your car

those cars are'nt stick cars and they do some thing called power management... there not hitting them hard out of the hole, they bring it in gradually... thats why they work.. hit them hard off a trans brake or a clutch dump and you'll light them up if you have any power.. nitrous cars run digi sets to delay the hit and turbo cars can play with how the boost comes in.. even my supra would light up my radials at anything over 14psi of boost on the launch off the foot brake and ebrake... 14psi and under it left like a champ 1.42 60 ft's going 10 teens all day long.. once the boost went over 14psi is would be a smoke show

Sorry man.

The MT Drag Radials are very good. Almost as good as thier slicks. They are very stable on the top end as well.

Ssssoooooooo....they can hold 450rwhp and 6,000 rpm cluthc dumps?
Will an ET street perform better for a setup like this?
I want to be able to drive the car to the track...so they have to be DOT approved.
Thanks for all the input guys!!
