Now that these are finally released has anyone bought a set?
I would like to get a pair for my 18" Boyds to use on the street.
These should be the perfect size I am looking for witha 28.8" height.
I found some on Ebay with free shipping and discounted price.
I was wondering of anyone had them on their car yet?
My 2007 GT/CS came stock with 235/50/ZR18 tires. I'm wondering if those will even fit ! And I don'tknow ifits a good idea to mix differentradials front and back for highway use? What do ya think?

Those are very tall, more than an inch and a half taller than stock. If they do fit, it might be a little squirrely on the road around corners. Those tires also like to follow grooves in the road. I don't recommend those for daily driving. I drove to and from the track on my 275/40/17's last year, it got a little hairy at times. If you want a drag radial to drive on the road, I'd recommend Nitto's of BFG's

That's not an issue!

You can never have too much power, just not enough traction.
12.33 @ 112.3 - 1.71 60'
Those are drag radials you dont want to drive with them in the rain thats for sure...I had to buy 17" rims for my car with M&H 275/50/r17 becouse no one makes a drag radial for are car that well fit.
I know they are drag radials. Myvert is a just a weekend toy, it has never seen rain. I dont want Nittos because they suck for traction compared to M/T drag radials.
So did anyone buy the new 305 0r 345 size 18" drag radials from M/T?
they have a 3788r 27" height width 13.5" 345/35/18
it wont fit on my 10" rim. If it did it would be perfect.
The 3785r will not be out until April 1 but the other two are avaialble now.
I am considering the taller tire to reduce my gear ratio on the street for better traction. I would prefer the wider tread though, so I may wait for the 3785r which is a little shorter but much wider.
I run 17" bullet rims with ET Streets at the track so this is just a street setup.

The 15" will be really short and the 18" will be really tall. I think matswpa844 has the right idea. I am expecting delivery of those exact tires in a couple of days. They've had great reviews and are the closest to our stock size that I've seen in a drag radial.
I have BFGs now and I've been looking for something with more sidewall for the 18" tires. The MTs will be my next purchase unless BFG comes out with a more choices for us with 18" wheels.
