Wow I'll be sure because you posted some dumb response not to enter my car on drag radials into a auto x event and not track my car on a road course event on Dr also!! I am sure the people who run drag radials know where they are to be used and how to drive on them ... Am rep at its finest...lol
if you need a AM rep telling you not to drive your car in or around twisties or racing around a road track with drag radials on, well than you aren't the type of owner that needs a drag radial.. They say "DRAG RADIAL" for a reason! Come on common scense should tell you not to drive in a fashion to where your Drag radial might come off your rim.. If you do need that than stick to a stock tire...
Ive seen m&h 275/50/17 run on a 17x8 but thats only 1" off the 9" recommendation. I think the way m&h rates these tires must be pretty we todd ed if the 275/45/18 will work fine on a 8" rim.
I'm not saying anyone is trying to road race with these tires, but it can be hard to resist not to drive aggressively on the street sometimes.
I understand why putting a tire on a rim that isn't wide enough can be bad.
It surprised me how well the 275/45/18 fits in the pictures here in this thread. Considering it was on a rim a full 2" under what m&h recommends. Hence why I was questioning how m&h rates that tire. But hey what do I know I didn't build the thing I just saw the pictures he put up.
