New M & H dot drag tyres

Menangler - December 18th, 2004 at 08:27 PM

Fitted up some M & H dot drag tyres today, they are 215 65 x 15, and fit on a 5 inch Flat 4 BRM very nicely, very soft and still drive OK on the road.
these are the ones Vintage Vee dub are selling.

Ive seen the US direct price, out of curiosity what are they going for there ?

Menangler - December 18th, 2004 at 08:34 PM

I think they are around $600 a pair

When are they getting an on track evaluation? Curious to see how they compare to a full slick.

Hey Beck What tyre pressure do they recomend for street running ???

Are you going to use on yr daily driver ??

Dave,
I have 25 psi in them now, it isn't a daily driver so it will only be driven every now and then.

I assume that they are street legal, how much are vintage selling them for.

shiftyvw - December 19th, 2004 at 08:04 PM

Maybe not street legal, they are DOT approved but thats an american thing. Do they have a speed and load rating etc on them?

Isn't it more of a yankee thing so hot cars can run hot tyres and still be classed as street legal for drag racing.

They are nice tyres but can't see you running them on the road. They'd last about 5 mins!

Dave your using yours for the drags only aren't you?
