    We had run a set of 36 inch tires on a screw blown altered at one time. We couldn't get them to both hook up at the same time. I was all over the track. Plus I purchased a new set of Hoosier 36 inch slicks and the m/t tires were a full inch taller than the Hoosier tire. And they was miss-shaped, the centers were sunk in. That has been our luck with them. David

    Have had several sets over the last few years . None of them held air over night . One new set vibrated the car so bad you could not see , remounted and balanced them same result .

    We have run them on our 5 second AA/ fuel altered for 2 years now, best tire we have ever run on it. we have run Goodyears and Hoosiers before. Hoosiers worked good as long as we were up on power, MTs work good all the time. Had the same problem with them leaking, so I called Carl Robinson at MT and he said to wipe the inside sidewalls down with dishwashing soap before mounting, now they hold air for months. We accidently got the stiff wall tires and the car worked so well we purchased 2 more sets of the same .We get 12 runs out of a set, same as hoosiers. When they stop smoking on the burnouts we change them.
