They are much better than the BFGs, only problem is that they don't make a size too friendly for FWD cars (at least that I know of). Smallest was a 26"

I ran 205/50/15's on my Integra this year. A much better drag radial than my old BFG's. I used to burn 1st, 2nd, and 3rd with the BFG's. Now I only burn 1st with the MT's. This is with a little over 400whp.

plan on buying a set of 225/50/15's in the spring for my car. I have had success so far with my 205/50/15's BFG's on the street, obviously 1st and 2nd are useless, but 3rd grabs at 6k (LS Tranny) and just barely hazes them to redline in 3rd, car accelerates pretty hard, can wait to try the 225's

I might try some of these, gearing is better with 225/50/15s over 26" tires as we can only use DOT rated ones where I race.
M&H needs to make them in this size! I think alot of people would be very keen. The hoosier drag radial in 225/50/15 has been a big seller in NZ.
