M&H Drag Radials
I like the 325/45/17 too, in fact I was going to order some a couple weeks ago but they are back ordered pretty bad. I like them because they should fit a stock SS rim and they are 28" tall. The tread looks suspiciously like MT's "new" tread for their new larger size DR's. Supposedly they hook great, but thats hearsay.

I have talked to several people that say they hook as good as M/T's.

Thats what I meant. The new MT's look like the M&H's.
FWIW, I called Jegs again last night and they still don't have them. They are still back ordered.
See. they aren't that wide. On an 11" rim they look narrow. I think they'll be fine on a 9.5" rim, especially since M&H says so.
BTW, I ordered mine today from Jegs, as of right now all but 2 tires are spoken for in this shipment. M&H is out of them, so as far as know the 2 Jegs has are the only 2 available. I thought about ordering them and trying to sell them at an inflated price like an *******, since they are in huge demand, but I didn't wanna be that guy.

I got mine today, all mounted up. Pics later....
I will say this: They are VERY soft, I'd expect very quick wear for extended street use but (hopefully) great raction.
These tires are EXTREMELY narrow. Mine (325/45/17) measure under 10" at the tread, and don't appear to be any wider at any section. They are more narrow than the 285/40/17's I had on there. I put them on a 9" rim and they still look narrow. These will look pretty rediculous on anything bigger rim-wise, IMO.
They also seem to be taller than they should be. The specs say 28" but I had 28" tires on there before and had to clearance another 1/2" out of my rear bumper to clear them.
I think these tires are nice, but aren't the ticket if you like massive rubber out back. Guys putting these on 11" rims, be prepared to look silly. I do however, think these are perfect for the sleeper look on a stock SS rim. From the back the car will look stock, and won't appear to be packing much.
