M&H Drag Radials

[2006BlackGT]

I tried the search feature and could not find any info. My M&H drag radials were just shipped to me and they are collapsed like fat pancakes. How the hell do I expand them or should I just let the tire installer handle this? I can't even get my fingers in there to expand.

Thanks,

Greg

Leave them out in the sun for a while and they will pop open fairly easily.

Yeah, I have to ask Mike or John what they feed that guy.....

That was the thread I found and I laughed my ass off - but it solved my problem. Thanks Pumkinfish for sending me the link!

OP, what wheel width are you mounting those tires too?

Yeah, that was my thread where I wigged out over it. LoL. It's easier to get your foot in and push down, than it is to try and pull up with your hands...FYI for future reference.

If you guys knew what 2006BlackGT looked like, you would think the "shaved ape" is him! Especially when late spring rolls around and he has to shave his arms for the short sleeve shirts

How are those tires fitting your wheels,are you getting any lip from the wheel sticking out past the tire? Pics if you have them. Thanks.

I haven't installed them yet but 10 is the recomended rim size when I spoke to M&H. Below is the link to the tire on M&H's website. I also have 9s and the stock 8.5s.

Curious:

A) if these will work on a 9" wheel
B) how well they will hook on my car

MH tires hook EXTREMELY WELL. I could never get out of the 1.6's on MT's but i got almost into the 1.4's on the MH's

275-45-18 tires will work on a 9" rim. You can go + or - 1" of the recommended rim size. I use them on a 9.5" rim. 8.5" is too small IMO

I use this size on 9" rims. They hook great. That being said, if I had to do it over, I would have gotten a 10" rim for them. At anything over track pressure (20psi is what I run them at) they crown enough to see it. 10" rim would be ideal for DD as you could run a higher pressure on the street, without wearing out the middle so fast. That's just my .02

Got the tires installed today on 10's and the wheel is sticking out past the tire - needless to say I am switching them to the 9s.

How well do these hook compared to the bias ply ET streets?
