28" M&H tires

mhanksii · Mar 29, 2008

I found these on Jegs website and was told (not sure if I trust the info) that since they have such a tall sidewall on them, they will mount up to the stock 17X8 with no problem and there is no fear of them rolling off the rim in the corners either. Anybody know what our cars would do with a 28" tire on the rear and if these would really mount up or not?

M&H's website recommends a 9 inch rim.

here's a pic of them on my ride on a 17 x 9 rim...

The 275 will fit fine on an 8" wheel. M&H tire sizes run quite small. I'm running the 325 on a 9" wheel and as you can see, it fits very well.

I have heard they fit, but are they an acceptable street tire? I have a Jeep for the bad weather but do drive cross country from time to time. Also how is that 28" tire going to effect my car at the 1/4 mile?

because I am torn between these M&H's and the Nitto 555R drag tire (275/40-17) but I think the taller M&H will look better and sit better on my 8" rims with the taller 50 series tire.

Yes, definitely acceptable on the street (dry pavement, of course). We have them on our 2005 & 2007. The 2007 sees rain, so that one only wears them to the track and back, but the 2005 wears them all the time. Haven't gotten to drive it too much, yet, but they corner fine from what I can tell. They don't bulge out, so I don't see any problems. Like any drag radial, though, you really don't want to wear them in the rain. So I wouldn't wear them cross country. But that's of course up to you. They're fine street tires on dry pavement.

I don't think you'll see much difference. Even with 3.31 gears, I don't notice a difference in acceleration. They may slow you down the slightest bit, but you'll make up for that with being able to launch well, which will far outweigh it. I'll post up my track results when the track opens at the end of April. My best last year was 13.5 with the stock rubber and 3.31 gears.

Are you talking about your Nitto's or your M and H's? Also are you running any of the above on stock 17X8's?

DarkFireGT · Mar 30, 2008

I'm talking about the 325/45/17 M&H's. I'm running those on a 17x9. The 275/50/17 on a 17x8 wheel should be equivalent.

mhanksii · Mar 30, 2008

I am about to pull the trigger on a pair of 275/50-17 MandH's. I can't find anything on the web or from the local tire shops that say there will be any problems with them on the stock 17X8's. I have also heard the only drag tire that is better in the rain is the Nitto 555R but they don't even come close to hooking as good as the MandH's at the track or on dry pavement in a straight line or on corners.

If anyone has other opinions please let me know and thanks for the feedback so far!

Do to budget woes I had to skip the MandH's and have some 275/40-17 Nitto555R's on the way. I have read that they are more like a 255 sized tire and that they do mount up fine on the stock 18X8 rims for daily driving.

i have MT ET Street Radials on the stock 17x8 wheels. they work great.

do you have the 275/40-17 on your stock rims or the 245/45-17?
