anyone running MT 255/50R16 Drag Radials?
thinking of running these instead of the M & H Racemasters 275/55R16's on my stock wheels...found them in stock local...about $20ea less than the Racemasters...should fit as well as if not better...

ive got mine mounted on a set of 8" wheels and they are working well for me. They dont require much of a burnout for me to hook hard off the line.
Edit: I first mounted them on my stock wheels and found that they bulged out too much for my liking. On an 8" wheel you get a much better contact patch.

I couldn't stand the look of the 16 with the 20's up front.
So I scored a New set of 16x8 Forged Billet Centerlines on E Play and put 215/70/16 on the front.
Now it has the drag look -pizza cutter front fat back and hooks hard.Bonus was took of some weight!
