Default MT ET Drag Radials wanted

Hey guys, can somebody hook me up with some of these? Dollars are in short supply, so if the stars were to line up just right one of you would have some used DRs on some beat up wheels, that you'd want me to have for a song. Ok, so if they don't line up just right... can someone tell me where to buy new ones at a reasonable price in Georgia? What size tire can you recommend on stock rims, without rubbing? I appreciate it!

Sorry, no free tires here either, but M/T also offers a 255/60-15 which is working pretty good for my GN. Of course it will be slightly taller than the 235 so it will throw the speedometer off a little (as well as the VSS). But it gives you almost 9" of tread and M/T says it will work on a 7" wheel, so you can use the stock wheels if desired.

Thanks for the info Surivor. So if the trend continues and no one offers me an early Christmas present.... where do you guys buy MT DRs typically, and who might have the best prices? thx

Exclamation Re: MT ET Drag Radials wanted

I'll just offer two comments:

-Tires aren't always cheap to ship
-Tires must be mounted properly - especially 'race' tires

Ergo, sometimes a local source that does a good, careful job with the mounting & balancing is better than mail order and and going to the corner shop with a wheel changer to have them mounted. If they screw them up, and they sell them, they'll eat them. If you bring them in, you eat them.

Just a thought...
