Traction issues fixed!!!

[DBRODS]

I've made a few changes lately and traction had become a issue. On motor it wouldn't hook up below 50mph and on the bottle anything under 75mph was worthless. I used to run 295/65/15s MT ET streets but now I've switched to M&H 325/50/15s and its a night and day difference. The overall width is about the same and the tread compound on the M&Hs is far superior to the mickeys on the street. The truck will hook up on motor from 15mph and on the bottle from 35mph. I haven't tried anything less but thats on a crappy county road. Heres a few pics!!!

Kurt runs the M&H too does he not?

[DBRODS]

Yes he does. Seems like everyone around here has switched from Mickey to M&H the last few months.

Ya, if im correct tarinitup1 switched to m&h also and said ther was a big difference also on the street..

[CHEVROLADE]

looks good...yup always hear good things about M-H.....i want to try there 17s

My best 60 has been on M&H but unfortunately they were borrowed. I'd love to narrow the rear and get a good hooking street tire though. Seems like you found it.

Anyone got a link where I could do some more reading on these tires?

I wanted to run the 390/15s but I don't have the room for them and they would keep me in the 29.5" range. I don't feel like retubbing the rear and having to battle the bed liner so the 325s will have to work. These are 28.5" and only affected 3rd by about 10mph. The trade off is way better...

Hav u been able to run the m&h's at the track yet dbrods? Also wut wuz the best 60 u had with m&h than without manny? For a numbers comparison.

Ive always noticed that M&H tires are sized differently then others. their 275s are more like 245s and their 325s are like 295s...deffently a tire that gets it done
