MT Radials

Anyone made any comparisons to 30x9 vs. 29.5x9 Radials as well as vs. Goodyear 30x9 Radial ?

I ran the 29.5 M/T's through one set, but didn't see any big difference to speak of. There are two 30x9 M/T radials now, with slightly different rollout & treadwidth. I just run the "biggest/widest" one.

The best 60' I've ever had with my H/CM Volare is a 1.41.
The very last run on the tire pictured below was a 1.419. M/T's -- good to the bone!

The catalog listing shows two widths for the 30x9 only and the circumference is bigger for the smaller width tire. Michael, Per your posting you use the 29.5x9 only at this point?

Sorry, forgot that one was taller, one was wider. This is the tire I run:
3066R 30.0/9.0R15 RADIAL 23 R1 Tubeless 10 12.5 9.0 29.7 93
