Any one every use the M&H dot tube/tubeless tires ?I found a pair that are 7.5" tread and 25." tall and a 14" rim. It say's they are DOT classic muscle car street/strip tires. http://www.intercotire.com/html/muscle-car-drag.htm ------------------

Scoop...My Brother had a pair of M&H StreetMasters on his TransAm back in the middle 80's That thing hooked up so hard that it spun the center of the Rearend up into the floor.

John he ran the DOT street/strip tires. if so sounds like they would give me plenty of bite.What about running front radials and non radial rears ??? ------------------

I was hoping to not have to replace the front tires too right now. Which are BFG's,problem is I have 14" rims and they make very few tires for them anymore.------------------

Steve wasn't it you that told me you were having some odd problems from running a mix of radials and non radials. I'd run mine that way all the time on the highway around town.------------------

Used some a few years back on a 5.0 with radial skinnys up front. Daily driven low 13.sec ride. Loved them. I liked the radial front bias mix, gave that loose ass end dragster feeling! Rear just moves around a little, nothing dangerous. Got 1.67 - 1.69 60' times with them. UNTIL IT RAINS! Just a drizzle snizzle, and it was almost like ice, accompanied with the short wheelbase and 4.10 locked (spoolzle) car would try to swap ends at anything over 45 mph in 5th. So if you dont drive much in the rain, they rock. If you drive it in the rain, get ready for the white knuckle ride.
