What do you think of M&H DR's for my setup
I have a 2002 t/a w/ ~550 rwhp, t-56, and finally got an s60 w/ 3.73s (new).
I currently have firehawk rims with 275/40/17 nitto DRs. They are nice on the street but just dont cut it. My fastest 60 has been 2.1 and i have a decent suspension.
My goal was to run an 11 sec pass in street trim. (11.9 would be enough). So far my best was 12.1 which i did on my old engine w/ spray and n/a on my new engine with clutch issues which are now fixed (hydraulics).
I think the m&h will be stickier than the nittos and still be a "street trim" sort of tire. I would get 275/40/17.
What do you think? Any other considerations/recommendations?

The stickiest drag radial I have seen on a M6 car is a Hoosier........
Click on this link below.... notice the front tire is in the air. Not easy to do!!

They will be much stickier than the Nitto and should easily cut down the 60ft times. You've never cut better than a 2.1 on the Nittos? I've cut 1.8's easily with bone stock suspension, weight and rims

i will prolly try the m&h next myself. i have 295/45 17 which is a 28" drag radial and at the strip they are almost as worthless as street tires. havent made but 4 or 5 passes but all were horrible even trying different things. to much rpm up in smoke,to low and it would bog and 60' times were only 2.0 or so any way i tried. et drags are hard to beat on an m6 with alot of front end weight.
