Default ordered M and H drag slicks

Well, I've come to realize with 750Hp the ET streets arent getting the traction i need. So, I did it. There 26x12x16's slicks. They'll fit my CCW's which is good news. The only bad part is I wont be able to run them on street nights. But saturdays and Wed I should be good to go.

It used to be only for DOT tires, but this year they opened it up to slicks too.

EDIT: THats just friday nights though, WED nights are still street tires only.

Hey Brent, that's a good 60 -footing, soft compound tire. They used to be made in Watertown, Ma., then the mfg. plant moved to Gardner, Ma. A couple of yrs. back, the company was sold....they're either located somewhere down south, or maybe even Cali, now....You young whippersnappers probably don't even REMEMBER M&H drag tires, but back in the day, that's ALL the top guns would run. They started making drag slicks way back in the late 50's...way before Goodyear, Firestone, Phoenix, M/T, and Hoosier. Go fast with them.... WJ
