Photobucket lets you link to forums? Just go to the picture and it'll give you a link to use.

I just had mine mounted on my ACR yesterday, it was 60 degree's in chicago, so I drove on them all day. these tires HOOK LIKE A MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I have 3.55 gears, bleanger long tubes, no cats, 1.7 rockers, and shoot a 250 wet shot. I didnt spray yesterday ( bottle is currently out of the car) I had the BFG's last year and could still duump the clutch around 2 and smoke the tires easiy . Did the same thing with the MT's yesteday, fucker just goes!!!!!, the clutch just smoked on my final launch, car stunk for a couple hours, these tires are wicked. Looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade the clutch, I have a little place by my house that is marked for the 1/4, you still have to shift into 4th, I'll take some pictures tommorow and try and post them, they look evil looking at them from the back

I knew they'd be great in a straight line, but I heard they were night and day difference better then other DRs for cornering, like cornering hard on the street, that they'll be kinda similar to a street tire and not give that loose goose feeling in the rear that other DRs will. How did they feel in that perspective since you had BFGs before?

To be honest with you, I did go on the highway, and hit some pretty high speeds, they dont feel much different than the BFG's handling wise, that loose goose feeling is still there, not as bad, but still there. All DR's are gonna have it. This was the 1st time this year I drive the viper, as I took it out of storage just to make sure I got my tires, before they get back-ordered, the power felt so insane to me compared to what my 250hp mustang that is my everyday driver, so some of the the loose feeling could be that I'm just used to driving a car that has less than half the power. Its going to be nice the next couple of days so I'll give a better report at the end of the week.

Yes, but they'll work well if you're running 145-150+ trap speeds.

After running the BFG's and banging the rev limiter in 4th. The 28" M&H's are definately a plus.

I'm running 11.6 @ 121 in stock form. Just looking for better traction especially if I go with 3.55 gears. Putting taller rears tires seems to be counter intuitive if I am going thru the effort of replacing rear gears too.

Jim, the Hoosier in 18" is 26.2, and the hoosier in 17" is 25.4"
Those would be better choices for you.
For Big Power The MTs, if they hook HARD ,are the way to go.
Waiting on full report from Frank.

Pretty much. If you went to a 28" tire, you'd negate the 3.55's. Although the MT's aren't quite 28" tall.
