I dont know if M/T has even put those into production yet have they?

I ran a set of BFG's 275/50/15's on my '01 and I love them. They hook great.

Yes the tires have been out for a few months, but only racers were allowed to buy them for a certain M/T DR class...

They are available to the public now. I would suggest a 275/50/15...

yeah the M/T Drag Radials are out. Lonestar Performance has them for sale. But only in a couple of sizes till more sizes are released. I believe they have 275/60/15 and like 315/35/16 or something like that. 275/60/15 are like 28" tall 11.5" wide on a 15" wheel and the tread width is like 8.9" wide.
