M/T's new Drag Radial
Taken from http://www.nmraracing.com/foru...ber=1
Drag radial racers gained as much as .5 with the new M/T drag radial versus a BFG DR of the same size.....
3200+ lb stock suspended cars went 8.50s @ 158+ 1.3XX 60fts on a 275/60/15 (Smaller than a 28x9 slick, for comaparison purposes) .....
"The compound almost feels softer than an ET Street. My guess is an ET Street will actually last longer on the street than these radials. The side wall is stiff until you get about half way from the bead to the tread, then it's VERY flexable. When I was in Phoenix they were taking off everyone's crappy BFGs and putting on M/T so you had a chance to see both tires next to eachother and you could feel the differences. They are NOTHING alike. M/T DRs are to BFG DRs as BFG DRs are to Nitto DRs".....
"Mickey Thompson did extensive testing of the tire at the PSCA World Finals. EVERY car that wore the tire, "gained" in some way or another over the same-size BFG drag radial".....
It certainly looks and sounds very promising....just thought I'd share what I found.....

wonder if they'll have import 15" sizes

Yes they are going to have other 15" sizes. We are a M/T distibutor. I'll post when sizes are ready to ship

Those are bias ply tires not radials. I'm not sure if that makes a difference to anyone here.
