Here's some even better news for many of you. How about a wrinkle wall drag radial in 26x8.75x17" tire? How freaking sweet is that? That is going to really change the game for the classes requiring drag radials! I have a set coming, I'm hoping to be able to test them, this late in the year in Ohio though may be tough. I can loan them to someone else fast in a warmer area though!

BTW, we will be a dealer for all this and offering the tires. First time we have ventured into tire sales.

Can't wait for pricing/availability info on both.

Confirmed! M&H. I really liked working with John & MH. He was there for the racers. Great work Dave. I applaud your success.

That is great news that M&H has stepped up to help our niche market!

I'd def be interested in testing either or both out as my car is finally almost done.

I actually have a set of their 24" slicks I was eager to try out maybe they'd be willing to take them back / trade for some 17" versions to help test if the weather here in ca stays dry.....

M/T isn't making these and M/H is? I wonder what the price tag is going to be for these also? Probably the same as any other slick. 200 dollars a tire?

Hey Mike are you going to be testing these at the next NSCRA event in December? Can't wait to see the out results of these verse other slick and d/r set ups.

Correct. M/T couldn't make it happen but it sounds like M/H is stepping up the plate to make this come true.

Again, huge thanks to Buschur for making this possible!

Some of you guys crack me up. John at M&H, for reference has nothing to do with them and refused to help a few years ago. It is M&H but I am working with the actual owner Tom on the tires, based out of Ohio. Great guy and was very-very willing to help with the project.

Yes, Mike is going to be testing a new tire for them, he may already have them. This is a special tire, still in testing that Tom wanted on a fast car. Details will remain very-very quiet until positive results can be 100% confirmed.

I have a set of standard drag radials on there way to me now. The actual slick tire will be sometime in January from the looks of things still.

There are going to be TWO bad *** tires that are optimal for our cars, one a drag radial and then the slick. Depending on Mike's testing there could be a third tire.

Also, as long as the cat got out of the bag. We are an M&H dealer and if there is anything you guys need, please let us quote it.

I do not believe he will post pictures. This first set he is testing is a "secret" project for now from what I understand when I arranged for him to test them out.

Lol! i see you chasing the car to take pictures!

It will be a great addition to the EVO community, and probably the Subaru too, to have such tire!

Looking forward to seeing these released. Just in time for next season. The track here doesn't open until April, so plenty of time to pick a set of these up and a clutch.
