Anyone using the 295/45/17 MT's?
 

Thinking about trying a set for my 17" rims, the dimensions look good. Just wondering if anyone has a set and how wide they really are....

I was just going to ask this.I take it you gave up on the M&H's?

I have the SS wheel's which are 9in wide and the fit fine on my ride. 295 17 mt et street

Do you have a pic of that, Spooky?

No, I got the M&H's now. They are really narrow though. They may work very well, but I like my car to look good too, and these tires are just too small for me.

Spooky, post pics dammit!:D

i had a set of these and they were too tall to look right on the car for my taste. never tried a 60', probably hook as good as the 315 w/ less sidewall

Pics??

I need the height, a 26" tire looks ridiculous on my car. I wanna see pics dammit!

Not the best pic but this has 295/45/17's

I want to see the width. These look so much like the M&H's I wonder how much difference there could be.

I use them on 9.5 wheel and they even look better than the 275x17 drag radials and on my car they hook like a bear! But I like the look of filling wheelwell. They ties measure out at 27.4 tall on my Vette.

also interested....i was looking into these for when the nitrous goes on. i've got the 315's on my 9.5" wheels now, but i wanted the 28" tires for the spray...

M&H tire sizes are ALL screwed up, be careful. A BFG and M/T 325/50 are identical in size, a M&H is not it is taller and narrower.

Yeah, the M&H tires make no sense as far as sizing. Its like they threw numbers in a hat and went that route.

Here are a few pics of the 295's on 17x9.5 zr1's.

They look like they're bulging a bit on the white Camaro above, I bet they'd fit nice on a 17x11. I know they are probably a bit WIDER than a 315/35/17 Nitto, and those always fit nice on a 17x11. They show rim widths to be 9.5" minimum and 11" max.

That may be something worth looking into. They would bump my 4th gear up by 9mph and potentially save me from having to swap to a smaller gear.

PS - I just noticed Summit shows them on backorder too. :(
