M/T just introduced new radial tires in 26" and 27" for 15" wheels! A taller, narrow D.O.T. tire that actually drives nice and is lightweight! Hard to find tall, narrow tires for our cars.

I will have to look into these, I could use a 27" to keep my exhaust off my driveway.

M/T 6678 is a 28" tall skinny tire in their Sportsman S/R radial street tire. I've been wanting a set for a while, but haven't pulled the trigger on them for $450+.

That's a nice looking front tire is there a link to it? Check M/T site and nothing 's there  Nothing yet. They just showed one at the beginning of March.

M/T tires run on the small side by like 1/2". I know someone who bought some pro street front runners about a year ago, and after they were mounted and inflated they were too short so back they went for the next size up. My 26" S/R radials measure 26.5 when inflated to 40 psi. Just measured to be sure.

Sorry, my bad. The tires I know of were Hoosier pro street radials, and not MT's. Those came out smaller than advertised so they had to be exchanged for the next size up.

I have a pair of 26" tall SR radials on the front of my Dart and even with 50 lbs of air in them they look low. I'm hoping the new ones have a stiffer sidewall. Wow, thanks for that info! I guess they wouldn't be a good match for my sled then!
