Just got MT DR's today
 

The only size available locally today was 325/50/15. They are 28" tall compared to the typical mustang 26" size.
I have Weld Prostars 15x10 with 6.5" backspacing, no quad shocks and no tailpipes. The tires barely fit, not much of a problem width-wise but they do stick out under the fender lip just enough to rub if you hit a bump. I put some air in the pass. side airbag I have and surprisingly it lifted up the whole car so that solved that problem for now. I'll probably be getting those "weight jacker" LCA's soon to be more permanent.
Now the good part..
I've owned BFG's and Nittos before (DR's) and they worked better than a regular tire but still would spin in 1st gear and sometimes 2nd.
Not these...
I can't believe how well these tires hook, I can go just short of WOT in 1st, bang 2nd and go from there. Definitely the closest thing to slicks I've ever tried. And on top of that I was running 35lbs of air in the tires, no heating up the tires, nothing!
The most spin I saw was a little bit initially in 1st, then they bit, went wot to 6500 and shifted. I thought the front was going to lift off the ground when I hit second.
If you need traction on the street buy these..

Yep, I've seen many cars at the track pull the front wheels with those tires. I'd definitely sport a set if I didn't put so many highway miles on my coupe.

Yep, I got 'em & love 'em.

I got them and love them but unfortunately my axles did not like them too much. click the following for pics of the carnage http://forums.qwiksnake.com/showpost...31&postcount=9

Definately not for stock axles and 4500 rpm launches.

Very nice Bob, now get those axles changed out if you still have stock ones
in there. :jester:

I want to see what they look like on your car. I may get a set for mine.

Dale-I already have Moser 31sp's in the car with a girdle, etc. Surprisingly, in the past I had stock axles and ran as low as high 1.5 60ft's and they did not break but after that particular run I decided to get the better axles.
Chip-I'm in the dark ages, no dig cam :) As I said above though, they are a pretty tight fit, stick out right to the edge of the fenders but not beyond that at least.

I am probably going to get some in 17's when I get my other project done

Re: Just got MT DR's today
 

On the subject of drag radials - when using for daily driver duty after the car has been parked for a while. Do they get "flat spotted" for a time until they get some heat built up in them? In other words, do they ride like crap for a few miles at 60mph+? It feels like my Nittos do (just like the stock gatorbacks used to do when they were relatively new).

:hmm: I haven't noticed mine doing that. :shrug:
