MT motorcycle slicks

I know there are some guys on here running the MT motorcycle 26/7/17 slick on the stock Enkeis. Are they performing pretty good?

Call MT and ask them about it I already know that they do not recommend running them on anything but motorcycle.

26.0/7.0-17

They work great! THey are just a PITA to get mounted. We blew a bead on one when mounting mine and I had to buy an extra. Shops will mount them but they wont warranty if anything happens to them since they arent supposed to go on car rims. So I got to buy 5 of them. But for the traction they get they are great! And are far cheaper than a drag set-up.

THese will run you around $800, when I priced out the small ront brakes, 15" rims, slicks, and the tubes I was looking at around $3k. So for the money they work awesome!

On a side note and I do not mean to hijack the thread.
Does anyone know of Drag radials that can be used on a stock size rim?
Darn class rules that I run in do not allow full slicks.
