Default M/T drag radials

Where is the best source for these. I'm thinking 275-60-15 rear with skinnies up front. Thanks

I have always gotten my slicks/drag radials from Jegs. Always had good luck with them....Well at least for that, cam shaft kits for turbo buicks are another story.

Honestly, I did not check Jegs. I looked @ Summit, and didn't see them. I'll have to look tomorrow.

MT et street radials are on a nationwide backorder, have been since last october

except for a few of the less popular sizes youll have to do a lot of searching and maybe trade in some favors to get ahold of a set of 275/60s that someone might have stashed away and dont expect them to be cheap , last i heard was 500 a set on the few 28s left

I found this out quickly. Fortunately, M/T is not the only "Drag radial". I have been looking at the Hoosiers and M&H's. I really like the looks and dimensions of the Hoosiers. Wish there was some feedback on these.

Well, I ordered Hoosier DOT drag radials today. I had to verify that they did indeed have a DOT stamping, 'cause thay look too close to a slick. Good thing my car gets limited use and no wet roads.

Found out today, that M/T is recertifying all their DOT drag radials. It appears that there is no realistic release date in site. Maybe they are waiting to release their winter "Snow radials".

you scared me. I need new MT 325 DRs for Spring. Summit has em next day ship. I don't know about those Hoosiers, the warning on hoosiers site about public road use would make me go MT since they are actually meant for street driving when needed. I never saw a pic of the hoosier though.

I did not check on 325's, but he did say there are a few non popular sizes available. Not saying 325's aren't popular, they are just too big for my GN. Did they confirm the 325's in stock, or are you going off the web site? My M&H tires had the same warning about street use, and they have been on my car for years. I believe it's due to the lack of grooving in the rubber, which is alright for the way I use my car.
