Just looking for some advice on what slick to upgrade to. I'm currently blowing the tires off a MT 22x8x15 w/ ~320whp/tq.

Setup will be going to 400-420whp/tq over the winter. A 24.5" slick will work well with my gearing. These are the two tires I'm considering.

1) M&H 24.5x8.5x15 $165
or
2) MT 24.5x8x15 $185

Wheel is a Rota Slipstream 15x7. Which tire would you run and why? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

we just ran the mt 24x8x15 on a 477hp sohc and love it

 

both have seemed to be really good. with 400hp you'll hook up just fine.

 

M&H all the way.

 

Thanks for the help guys. Anybody else?

It seems like both will work well so I'm leaning toward the MT's just because they are a little narrower and might pose less of a clearance issue.

 

i have used both many times, the MT will fit a little better on that rim and also the MT seem to stay softer a little longer. shame you wasnt on 13s or i would say the new or at least reissued hoosier 24.5 , they stay softer longer then the others.

 

Thanks. Would I have to run tubes w/ either of the 24.5's? What's the downside to not running them? I wouldn't mind saving the $60 each and whatever they weigh.

 

they stay inflated better if u use tubes. very few use them its your choice of safety i guess

 

Realistically, how much diference does running a 13'' wheel over a 15'' wheel make on a 24.5'' tyre?
