Im looking into a set of drag radials for my truck but dont know which are better the M&H or Mickey Thompson. The other thing is that summit has two different part #'s for the M&H ROD08 and ROD18. Does anyone know the difference? I called summit but they didnt know

plenty of people have been happy with the m&h's , i am going to try out my MT's tomarrow . not shure on the difference on part #'s i would call m&h . i know my friend dimitri has cutt 1.6's on a very slippery track with the m&h's . we will see what my how my MT's compare . tuff to compare unless you ran each on same truck same day .

in the buckeye state
im looking at smoothing the rear calibers and running 15"s and have DOT slick 33X14-17" size options
both hoosier, goodyear, MT and M&H.
along this line http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php?crn=73&rn=321&action=show_detail
not sure if it is worth buy a 30" tire due to my wheel base being soooo loooonnng
along with a 60/40 weight split over ~170" wheel base doesnt help transfer at all :baby:

What wheels are those your run them on? Any reason for using 18's? Wouldnt 16s be lighter?

Oh, that makes since then, so if these are gonna be ran, a light weight 18" wheel needs to be found.

What about M&H, do they make comparable sizes in 16"?

16" m&h you can get up to a 28" , move up to 17" and you can get 30" but they are pretty wide . my 18" wheels are 26 lbs if i remember right , the wheel and tire combo is about 58 lbs . my wheels were 135 bucks each from discount tire direct .

yep kat is right made one pass and building boost the truck went through the brakes , hydoboost has been getting a little week and it pulls a little harder with the shorter tires , not a good excuse but i didnt get another run to try , i did get a launch just the slip was off from the clock starting when i red lighted , didnt slip a tire and mph was down a hair like it should be when you get a good 60( dont know why that is ? ) but i have to wait a few weeks for track to be open again :(
