I've done a search and couldn't really find too much info except for the thread with the 500whp VW cracking 10's with them...
I was wondering if anyone else has experience with the 205/60-13 M&H DOT? How do they compare to the several different 225/50-15 drag radials out there? I was running their 235/60-15 and love the traction and longevity but am not a fan of such a large tire and would like to try something more "stock" size. Car will have boost by gear and I'm taking it in for an alignment/corner balancing soon. Car will be turned down to 500-550whp in 4th. Basically looking for a tire that I can leave on for fair-weather car shows or take to the strip and not change tires (car is a weekend car only).

from what ive been asking about radials there not the way to go. if your wanting a good tire ive seen thread after thread saying nothing beats a toyo r888s r1 compound

the 205/60-13s are a bias ply...not a radial. They're the same compound as the 235/60-15 DOTs. They hook incredibly, but they're too tall for my liking.

any more people who have run them?
I'm wondering whether to go with a 13x5.5" steel wheel or a 13x7.5 lenso. I've seen them on both.

i had them on weld 13x8 wheels, never took them to the track but the street they were awesome. i bought them from summit racing if i remember they are about 23" tall. Now i wasn't making near the power that you plan on making but they did well on the street. Only other ones ive tried was a set of BFG 225/50/15s but they were terrible all around.
