so I order a new set of M/T D/R's an odd size...
They tell me 4 weeks ago I'll get them today. So today I look at the status from the Summit order and OLAH...back ordered until FREAKING M/F MAY. WTF. I call them and they say ALL their M/T D/R are on back order for a long time... They got nothing...
Jegs SAME CRAP...
M/T must be behind for racing. season...

What I heard is that the company that M/T gets their rubber from when out of buisness. This is why they are on back order. Maybe it could be time to try some M&H.

Try as you may the other brands just aren't in the same league as the sticky Mickey's. This sucks.

The only ones I used were BF goodrich, Nittos, and MT. I drive around everyday on my MT Drag Radials 325-50-15 on Bogart billet lites. They hook great on the street.

I agree except for the M&H dr's. I just pulled a 1.473 60' on Thursday.

Either way M&H doesn't make the size Dave needs anyway. Dave, how tall is that 295/65/15? 29.5?

I dont have to have them...was just thinking of trying them since I have this 410 gear thought the turbo would like it ( the tire) and would tuck in nice because its 1" taller and 1" narrower than the 325 50 15 I have been using...It will make a biggger foot print

Joe- I have a pair sitting on the shelf here at the shop and 3 more pairs of them at our parts warehouse.
I ordered this set for a customer on Friday Morning and got them friday afternoon.

Let me know if I can help ya out.
I also have 2 pairs of the 325/50/15's here. They are for my personal car, but if someone needs them more than me, they are welcome to them .

Sorry, but I don't think MT makes a 265/40/18.

the only 18's I know of that are out are:

P305/35R18 27 X 12.50R18 , For some reason we have 1 of these tires

and the

P345/35R18 28 X 13.50R18 We don't have any of these though.
