for 700+ i'd go with this on a 15x9 Wheel w/ 5" BS

But if your doing more street and on a stock or 3pc front end either way you could go with this one.

I've heard of many people getting good results on it.

The 275/60/15 is way too big its over 28" tall. You will not be able to fit those under the car plus it will more than likely make your overall final drive ridiculous.

I've seen the 275s used on a couple of street applications, now they do require a 3pc and some alteration on the inside of the wheel well, but it works, now as for street car with stock front end, i'd agree with you.

I'll probably end up getting the 235/60/15 bias plys just for size and ease

1lowek2007, here is a vid of Cunha's car on a set of 235-50-15" with a milder 500whp stock engine setup in it. I guess you can sort of get an idea of how well they work on the street from this video. Looks like he may have been using a set of the MT 235 radials, I am not 100% sure of the size though.

Dang man I wonder what size that is? def a M/T. But with a little BBG work I could get them hooking pretty good. they fit really well with that wide front end too. I like it

You're not getting it.

The 275's you're seeing on street applications are on a 26" tall. 28" like you linked is way too tall.

I actually had 275-50-15 MT Et Street radials (26") on the front of my Eg with stock fenders and bumper. Just had to beat in the inner fender pinch weld and trim the back of the front bumper. It was ridiculous though- the car felt like **** and you could really tell how heavy the tires were.

Haha they would be perfect because they would have an overall height of 25". You would just want to run a 9" wide wheel so you could keep a more consistent contact patch.

I was talking to Brent from TD Autowerks about the 275s, he has those on this EK Coupe, he told me they work just fine for him, but, i totally agree with you on the height, on a HB it would look a bit off LOL.

im going with a 3 peace front end as well next year. here are some bias plys im thinking of trying

http://www.mandhtires.com/M-H-Racema...T#.UkuHI4b4m6M

http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...&type=SS&bnr=y

there both a 26x10.5 but they measure the bulge of the side wall as well. so the actual tire width of the tire close to your fender would be skinnier.

here is a vid of my teg with the m&h street and strips 235 60 15.

car made 639 whp and 431 tq on 27 psi. car is 15psi in 2nd 25 in 3rd and like 33 or so in 4th lol. i dont really know but the boost gauge goes off the charts in the vid. 700 ish? maybe. it was a bit cool so they spun but on a hot day on like 14 pounds air pressure it hooks. you have to ramp the boost in the gears so it doesnt get a hit huge hit of power

I use to run drag radials,after i went to a slick on the street i wont go back. 26's are a good fit on stock wheels.

Man you must be an exception to the rules lol. I tried running slicks before and they would literally spin at 100 mph from a roll. I could not get them to hook unless I was going to dig race someone and had laid a bunch of rubber down before I launched. And still was pretty sketchy up top for me. But I agree a 26" tire fits nicely

i think you would need a cheater slick. something that doesnt require as much heat. i would think a full out slick wouldnt hook as good unless your doing burn outs.

To be honest, I'm not impressed with how the bias ply tires hooked in this video. 2nd gear spun HARD for only being at 15psi and then going into 3rd gear sounded like you either short shifted or had no boost until you ramped it in and then spun. I also take into fact that the 60 is making the gear ratio a tad big longer. My 235 50 15 Toyo R888's spin that hard in 2nd with 440whp around 30psi in the tires on a cold night

I was considering changing to those. I've tried so many tires and the m&h street and strips are by far the best. But I'm considering trying the 235 50 15 r888s or trying the 245 55 15 m&h drag radials but j was wondering if someone has tried them
