I bought a pair of mand tires 215 65 15 to be used as drag tires for ocasionally drag with 3.78,2.06,1.36,1.04  4.12 r&p lsd trans

M&H tires 215 65 15
Tread Width: 6"
Section Width: 8.4"
Diameter: 26.0"
Circumference: 81.6"
Rim Size: 6"
Code: MSS-016
Compound Type: 703
tread wear 000


seller says that can be used with 6 to 7 inches wheel

I installed in 6 inch wheel but tire width looks a lot smaller than wheel, opened, too much face or wall of the wheel.

today I replaced the wheel with 5.5 wheel and still

this oem 5.5 fuch are light ,very light, the m&h tire is light too

some body have photos of this mand tires ?







I only will use this tires for drag

I will use it fuchs 17 x7 wheels for street,  205 50 17 front and 215 50 17 rear

my trans is short, then I wanted tall tires for little attempt of cruise (barely)

I wanted a tire near of 26 inches overal diameter as mand

nitto web page says that 215 50 17 came with 25.6 diameter
I bought a pair (rear) join with a pair of 205-5017 front be used as front


I intalled but the difference in overall diameter between mand and nitto is huge
this is not .4 inch diference between tires, mand is more like 1 inch taller.








lLOOKS NICE !

I run 27 to 30lbs and no burnout and I know that seems plenty but it does a 3in wheelie and hooks perfect for me and it is good for mid 12s and few broken R/Ps on my street 67.
