The 275/50-17 M&H is the best fitting DR for the factory 17" wheels.

Here's a pic I found of them on factory 17x8 wheels...perfect fit IMO.

Oh yeah those look great!!! Are those the same ones that were linked to me in the previous post?? If that the same ones Il order those today. No issues with them?

Are those the 26 or 28"??

That's the tire I linked. They are 28", it will cut your gearing some, they are great with 4.10s. In fact that should be one of your first mods.

Why do you prefer the 4.10s over 3.73s? Will I be rowing through gears a lot more with the 4.10s? Are the 3.73s not much difference from 3.55s?

Sold. Do i need any kind of tune to accommodate the new 4.10s.



I found this kit on american muscle, is this everything i need to turn over to my shop for new gears

Is it wise to add in the traction lok rebuild kit with carbon discs???


When I rebuild the trac lok in my '05, I'm going with the carbon discs.
Can't hurt.
If it's good enough for a Terminator 'Stang, then good enough for me.


You will like those M&H Drag Radials.
They balance easy and ride great.
Mine are now 9 years old and the rubber has held up great.
I don't do smoky burnouts with them...not needed.
I spin, I see smoke I roll out of the box.

Just a dumb question. You said you need racing tires for a dd. You're not planning on dd-ing on them, are you? Because that will end in three ways. Either you'll smile enough to justify the replacement cost, you'll find something a little cheaper in a month when the dr's are worn out, or you'll die the next time it rains.

I was planning on dding them, I'm in cali and want to be at the weds night drags on a weekly basis now with my buddys, I was just thinking of using them for the season. I know I should probably just have 2 sets
