Default M&H monopoly?????
ive just dropped the hammer on the darkstar 15x10 and 17x4.5 and im searching for some 17" front runners and from what it looks like is that all you can get are the M&H radial or bias ply skinnies

am i missing some brands or is M&H the only company that makes these tires?

I am pretty sure these are the only two companies that make the tire you are looking for. From my understanding the Hoosier tires are a little bit harder of a compound and tend to last a bit longer then the M&H tires but everyone tends to run them because they are a bit cheaper.
