For those of you who do not know, Mickey Thompson has come out with a new drag radial size. This drag radial is suppose to be the same measurements as a 28x10.5 slick. It should fit under any car that can fit a 28. This should be really good for some of you who want to run a radial but think a 275 is too small and can't fit the 325.
I actually think I am going to be doing some of the testing on the new tire for MT in a few weeks. I will keep everyone up to date if I do.


Brandon, This is the tire you need for your car- forget the 325.

Thats awsome. The 275s can hold all I got but maybe one day I can step up.

S10's do not have enough power to turn a 275.

I would like to run those once I wear my 27x11.5 hoosier's out... which should take 5 years at the rate I race my car. They should be a little cheaper then, lol.

Not sure what's up with that price, I don't think they will be that much. They have not been released to the public just yet- I don't think it will be until after the first of the year. There is still some testing to do on them.
