Default M&H 23x8x13. possible new size? post your opinion.

Hi fellow H-T members. I am in close contact with M&H on providing them information on needs and wants of the raceres out there. I always get requests on a 23" tall 13" rim slick.

so how about a 23x8x13? if there are enough interest in it, then I can get them to make it. even better if there is enough people on H-T that we can put a big order in for them to make it.

please let me know what you think.
Wil

not sure about the old M&H line but they are now under new ornership the last couple of years.
After 50 or so years, they let go of the company to someone else but the OG M&H guys are still consulting with the new co.

i havent heard much on a 9" wide 23" tall
most all motor guys want an 8" wide.

yes yes yes make them...NOW!

the choice between 22's and 24.5 is a tough one. 23's would help a grip

If you can get these made, consider me IN for a set mounted on 13x8 Bogart Pro4s. I was asking about the 23" the other day, cus it makes sense with all my gearing calculations, and is closer to a true street tire.

how can I do this without a deposit?
a petition? to prove there is a good number of people wanting this size (seriously)
if you are serious and really want something like this withing 6 months.

Please send a quick letter... no novels... stating your interest in this size.
I'll seriously get them to make this if enough people are down for it.

If you are, please snail mail to:
Exospeed Performance Group
PO Box 55803
Valencia, CA 91385

thanks
Wil

this size should definatly be made. 22"-24.5 is too much of a jump for the all motor cars. 23" would be perfect for our car, i know that

I see you got my e-mail.
As I said in the e-mail mark me down, I would be looking for 23/9/13 though but if only 8's are made I will still try them.

Every serious all motor guy on this board should be interested in this size. tired of spinning those 22's and tired of falling out of v-tec and bad gearing with 24.5's.
evryone who is interested should post so this size is available before next season.

not enough posts guys.. i mean to really make an impact.
I had a conference call with them and they said no plans on that 23" tall slick, but is next on the list if they do make a size.
At this point, they are concentrating on the STREET slicks. They asked me on what size we would use. I said mostly 205/50/15 or 205/50/14.
Aww man, these street slicks are gonna way better than the BFG's and the Nittos(of course).
The design will be so slick like that it will pretty much be like a slick but with stronger side walls for street driving.

Will get more info as they come in.
thanks guys
Wil N.
