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.

That's a nice looking front tire.
But I would need it to be 27.7 to work for me. Even 27.10 is a bit short for me.

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+.

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.

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.

Wow, thanks for that info! I guess they wouldn't be a good match for my sled then!
