Hello all.
I'm looking at the M & H bias ply musclecar tires in 275 60 15 for my 68 coronet.

I'm mounting them on an 8 inch steel wheel.

I want the bias ply look as I only drive a few hundred miles per season.

Just to be clear, these are not their "cheater slick" bias ply.

Anyone use these tires?

Believe they are a "Cheater" type tire as I saw a pair the other day at a speed shop.

M&H makes both "musclecar" bias ply AND a bias ply "cheater slick".

I'm interested in the vintage looking "musclecar" bias ply version.

Not these:

Rob I had a pair like what you are looking at when I first put the Savoy together. I really liked them and they hooked pretty good. They had a profile like a NASCAR tire with a wide sidewall. When I replace my ET Streets I will be buying another set of M&H tires

Those both are Cheaters. One looks the part of a stock tire, but still is a soft compound/limited thread/wrinkle wall tire which constitutes a Cheater.
I could be wrong and just not up to speed on these M&H types.

May as well be a slick. You realize they are DOT-approved, bias-ply, street-legal tires. These M&H Racemaster muscle car drag tires are ideal for any class that uses a street-type race tire. Other features include state-of-the-art wrinkle wall construction on a black nylon bias-ply carcass.

Ran these for years, back when Protrac made them

and in the rain the hydroplaned easily.

Your choice isn't what I would run on a street car, ever. Get off the mobile version and hit the web version of Summit for the details.

I have the N50-15's of these and they are a cheater. Enough of a rain groove to be DOT and they wrinkle nice. They seem to wear decent and hook pretty well. Don't know if I would want to get caught in the rain with them.

I ran a pair years ago on my charger and from what I remember they hooked well and lasted quite a while on a casual driver.

No rain, no pain.
If you want a stock groove, side wall look, I believe Goodyear is now reproducing their famous L-60/G-60 in polyglass form tires. Also as mentioned above, the Pro-Trac tire is a good choice as well.

Thanks for the replies fellas!

I appreciate the input. I'll respond back when I figure this out and put some tires to use.

We ran those same tires on our 70 Road Runner way back in 1973. They hooked very well even with a 4-speed,and we ran them on a 8" wheel.

Which ones Chris?

These are the new version of what I currently have on my RT.

What kind of pressure and burnout procedure do you use on those M+H cheaters? I have 275/60/15 if it matters.

Sorry for the hijack.

The same ones you are looking at..the ones with the tread all the way across. Used the same size too,although back then they were listed as a 10.0x28.0. I don't remember if we used tubes,I'm pretty sure we did,my Dad always used them and we screwed the wheels to the tires. All I know is that Road Runner (we still have it) would hook in a car wash with those tires and 3800# S/S springs.
