Not Ranked
James #2117 is running them. So is Jason ("D-CEL" here). You need to log onto SCOF and James will answer the thread there (I don't recall him posting much here). BTW, James runs 11.40's on 275/60-15 MT Street Radials running a Roush 427w. He says the MTs are actually stickier on the street than on the track, as his 60' times are not that great and he still loses some traction on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. He's convinced that there is a 10.99 in there somewhere with the optimal combination and he's now dropped to a 275/50-15 to gain more gear back.
Jason runs MTs on all four corners and swears by them. I'm 99% convinced myself and am looking at them very hard (especially the 325/50-15 rear which he is running). Look up D-CEL here and you'll see the pics.

P.S. Here's a mod that you can do that will gain you 1/2" more outboard clearance. Have the rear wheel hubs (the portion that mates to the brake rotors) machined 1/4" on the diameter so that they are slightly smaller. Then shorten your wheel studs by the same amount. You can then remove the 1/2" spacer that the knock-off wheel adapter mates to. You need to machine the wheel hubs so that, upon removing that 1/2" spacer ring, the calipers will clear the hubs. I did this and it will help me place considerably more tire underneath (there is lots of room inboard).
