I've been looking for a 24.5" drag radial option for a while now since i had the 4.11FD installed and haven't found much of anything. Everything seems to be 26" tall and might be too tall for me from what I've read. I know most people run the M&H 8.5/24.5-15 slick at the track but there are some classes I want to run in that does not allow slicks. The closest thing i could find that may work is the hoosier 225/50/16DR. The 225 seemed a bit small and I haven't heard of anyone running that size on their evo before. I compared the specs to the M&H tire and its actually a little wider.

.......................M&H 8.5/24.5-15...............Hoosier 225/50/16
tread width..............8.5............................ ........8.8
section width...........10................................ .....9.3
Diameter..................24.5.................... ..............24.9
circumference...........77........................ .............78.3
rim width..................8.......................... .............7

Is there a better option?

 

There is no good drag radial in a 24.5" range.

 

bump, anything DOT approved in the 24.5 range?
