That was the M/T 3066R 30x9 radial. 110 runs like clockwork. Been to 116 before (1.40 60' on cords), but obviously they're hit and miss on cords.

M/T released the Pro Bracket Radial this year. They're heavier, but they have a lot more meat on them, and they're still fast. Matt Obertanec won everything under the sun this year in a mid 10-sec AMC Spirit running their 28x10.5" PBR, and it is a ridiculous ticket-printing machine. (been on the wrong side of him myself a couple times this year!) He put 300 runs on a set before taking them off. I'm looking into the 29.5x10.5 M/T Pro Bracket Radial for the Volare. I think it'll LOVE them.

Here are the sizes available: http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...=BracketRadial
