no are you guys serious?

Ask a bunch of racers here. M&H is probably the most popular slick company for Imports. We have been using them since early 90s since the growth of Import Drag Racing.
and FYI.... M&H is the "FIRST" drag radial. over 50yrs old. just too bad the company was sold to another company.

Anyways.. check out our site, we are a Huge M&H dealer.

nooo....he said drag RADIALS. i think thats why no ones really replying, hes not talking about slicks.

 

oh heheh woops. ya.. M&H is releasing a new line of DRAG radials for us IMport guys.

mah bad guys.. they called us up early november requesting suggested sizes.
i suggested 205/50/15 and 205/50/14

Yeah I did mean the radials, not slicks. No worries. I hope a 225/50/15 will be available.

 

hey man, why don't you suggest like 205-40-17 and 215-35-28.they are probably some of the most popular sizes on hondas.not to mention,i sure would like some of those 18's.i am tired of not having ANY traction whatsoever on the street and i really want some drag radials that will fit my wheels.

You can't really expect M&H to come out with a 17" or 18" drag radial for a few people. You need a bigger side wall for a decent tire for drag racing. Right Exospeed?

 

i just want someone to come out with a sticky tire that i can use.BFG has a 17 inch and it works.Why doesn't anyone else do it?

 

call them back and suggest 16's. and tell them to be better than the bfg's or don't bother.

 

exactly, we need a 225/45/16 and a 225/50/15. it better be better then the bfg's or no one is gonna buy them.

 

i agree with earl. anything over 15" for our hondas... dont even bother. You are racing, not trying to look good on the track with some low pro tires.
those are the first 2 sizes planned for imports. im sure they make them for 16's fbut taller like a 60 series for other cars, such as mustangs and supras, etc,

As far as being better than BFG. I m sure they are. THey are going to use the same compound that is on their regular slicks. pretty much the changes are going to be just a thicker sidewall and some lines on the thread to make it "DOT" drag radials. and dont expect to be driving this all over town either. and complain about how they dont last long..
you ask for a good drag radial... this will be it. BFG is good but I told M&H that if they dont perform that well, dont even bother making it. I said who cares about the dailt drivability of it... make it work as good as a real slick and people will be happy.

Do you have any idea when they're supposed to hit the market?

-Seth

 

i'll shoudl get some sets once it hits the market and i'll let the board know. not sure on exact date since i told them we'll do some testing first before we release it.

 

i am not wanting them for the track.i use slicks at the track.i want something for the street.i guess i am just stuck with 100mph burnouts.

 

40 series drag radials are a joke. we need a 235,245, with a 50 series side wall. I just got my new Bf's from discount tire direct,255/50/16's!! we will see how much better than the nittos they are!!!

 

We need a damn street slick. i hope thats what this tire will be. maybe a 23" for us 300whp guys and a 25" for the 450whp guys.

 

thats exactly what i was looking for. I asked exospeed about an M&H Dot tire I saw. They said they werent released but that would be the ultimate in street traction. the mickey 26x9x15 or 16 will work but its a little intimidating seeing a car on the street with those.

 

are those going under the fender?

 

american racing tire makes a tall radial with soft sidewall. 26" tire.

 

yes they do fit under the fender w/o cutting. you have to raise up the coilover a bit but they fit.
