CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Tires: Rotating weight vs radial construction

ALMACK · 05-13-2015, 03:55 PM

Well, I have ran enough passes on some M&H DOT Drag radials in the last 8 months to come to a conclusion.
The DRs runs the same as my Hoosier 30 inch tall slicks on my car, even tho the drag radials are considerably heavier.( my car runs mid 12's)

Right now, I am running 28 inch tall M&H dot drag radials that I bought in 2007 mounted on 17 x 8 wheels.

They hook just as good and run the same e.t. numbers as my Hoosier 30 inch slicks on 15 x 8 wheels.

So now I need to find out if NHRA will allow 275-60-15 DOT Drag Radials from M/T in Stock.
My old M&H tires will soon wear out and my slicks are used up.
