L4 - Soft compound for Dragsters, lightweight vehicles and vehicles without rear suspension.
L8 - Good compound for general use.
M5 - Good compound for general use


most of us use the L8 compound on the 24.5" tires and the 26" tires

the tires the MT offers pretty much only come in the certain compound they are listed at -- for instance, i don't think you can order a 24.5x9x13 ET Drag with anything other than the L8 compound

yes, the 26x10x15 are great tires and run quick, consistent times -- they are hard on parts though so make sure everything in your drivetrain is up to par or else you will break parts left and right

the 24.5x9x13 MT ET Drag tires are great tires as well and a lot more forgiving on drivetrain parts.
