I run M&H racemasters. 325/45/17. I have run just about every drag radial out there and this is by far the best tire i have run.

Went from 28x10-15 Hoosier slicks to a set of 28x10.5-15 Hoosier STIFF WALL slicks.
I'm VERY happy I switched to stiff walls, traction is much better and high speed stability has greatly improved. I'm sold on the stiff wall slicks, they're amazing.1989 Mazda RX7 Turbo II, 357ci LT1, AI TFS CNC heads, Garrett GTX4708R, Ford 8.8" SAS, TH400. (Current project)

The problem with M/T 28" tires is that they are 28.1". My 28x10.5-15W ET Drags (tubes), grow enough at 130MPH that I had to perform major surgery on the leading edge of the rear bumper cover. I had been running 28x11.5-15 Hoosier QTP's (no tubes) and all they needed was moving the rear axle back about 1/4" to keep the them from rubbing on the front edge of the wheel opening when they grew. The radials offer significantly reduced growth.

I ran those exact tires last year and switched to the stiff sidewall ET Drag version for this year (3055S). Actually, I have my Et Streets (the ones you just ordered) in the FS section right now! I switched bacause my car seems to like the ET Drag sidewall better.
