New M/t Et Radial Sizes On The Way

JASON99FRC · 02-06-2006, 02:04 PM

I dont know if anyone has posted this information from Mickey Thompson. I obtained this new product list at the SEMA show in October. As of Today 02/06/06 M/T Does not have verified release dates on these tires but they are estimating 05/06. I have calculated some of the sidewall and diameter measurements.
Here is what I have that could/would be applicable for a C5.

295/50/16 - 5.8" SIDEWALL - 27.6 HEIGHT
315/45/16 - 5.6" SIDEWALL - 27.2 HEIGHT
295/45/17 - 5.2" SIDEWALL - 27.5 HEIGHT
315/35/17 - 4.3" SIDEWALL - 25.7 HEIGHT
305/35/18 - 4.2" SIDEWALL - 26.4 HEIGHT
315/30/18 - 3.7" SIDEWALL - 25.4 HEIGHT
345/35/18 - 4.8" SIDEWALL - 27.5 HEIGHT

I hope this information is helpful to anyone fighting the right Radial tire/traction battle.

Jason,

Since these are radials , they don't need tubes, right?

And where you you recommend buying these to get them as fast as posssible for this coming racing season? I am looking to try the 295/45/17 size.

Thanks for the info.

Correct no tubes these are radial tiresAs of right now these are not ready yet according to M/T. I would suggest that you call M/T on a regular basis to make sure they stay on the ball. I intend to use the same size as soon as they are available.
Here is the contact information for M/T:
