Tired of changing 4 tires at the track?

[ChevyKiller]

I know I was, so I got rid of my MT Front runners and put these on...

MT Sportsman Radials 28x7.5-15 They fit just fine on the Bogart 3.5/15 and the weight is probably 3 lbs more if I had to guess than the front runners. Plan on putting these on at track day and driving them to the track so I only have to change the rears at the track.

I went with a 28" cause the 26" I had previously were way too low. These should work out nicely and work great on the street when need be.

Knock on wood, but I feel like I am on borrowed time before I have to bring a trailer just to get the peices home and I am no where near your car's level (yet)...

i usually trailer mine just cause i don't want to swap wheels and tires at the track but i'm gonna do the same thing mark has done. i tried driving my car a few miles on the street with those m/t e.t. fronts and it drives like sh*t unless you're wide open and the front end is up a bit. i'm gonna stick some m&h drag radial fronts and just drive to the track with them and my e.t. streets then pray it doesn't rain.

Those tires are what I run. I can put the rear D/R's on at home too and drive to and from the track..I like that. Now I have slicks to try but I'll probably do those at the track. I use the 28" too. The other would be too short. The OD is actually 27.5 and works well with a 28" rear

Mark... what is the p/n for these? All I see on M/T's website is a bias tire in a 28x7.5-15 size (p/n 1574). And it's about 8 lbs heavier than the 26x4.50 ET Fronts I've been using (20 lbs vs 12 lbs).

Don;

Looking at the picture they look like the 1574's check out the bottom of the sticker.

The extra 8 lbs. is no big deal and still well worth it in my opinion for the ability to handle the street with the these.

I have put a little over 1000 miles on them and they barely have the nubbies worn off.

Has anyone considered doing this to their stock rims?

Wow.... how much to have this done? My next question would be, what size tire would you run on the front skinny?

I am waiting for a price quote but I think it's 125 per rim

I would go with 4.5 x 17 M&H Skinnies

and These on the Rear 1325/40 17
or
275/50 17
