Which rims do those fit on? Crabs?

My understanding is the 15" rims. Hopefully somebody will correct me if I am wrong because I was planning on using a spare set of white snowflakes I have.

Hmm, that's not bad, but I'd love to be able to throw a couple slicks on some Lace Rims.

yeah, but tubes are recommended by the manufacturer.

anyway, I spent some time last night looking for the best deal. So far Summit and Jegs are the winners at $141. We need to find a dealer who is willing to do a group buy!

I've had and used my 24.5x8 M&H's for 5ish years w/o tubes, no problem.

Tubes not needed. Yes recommended. Never ran them. No One I know in the OVC does.

Summit is probably the best bet outside of a group buy. They'll match anyone else's price plus have free shipping on top of that.

True Scott, but they do have a handling charge, AND a special shipping charge for tires.

12 bucks shipping charge, plus 9.75 handling.

The M&H rep is always in the drag forum on www.honda-tech.com, and I believe he will sell direct to racers at a reduced cost. I'd try going over there and contacting him, its worth a shot anyways.

If you do not buy a pair of slicks from me, make sure they are a match set.

If you can not get me @ the Warehouse, catch me on the M&H-Cell-Phone 661.706.1576

Yup, I already looked at the mandhtires.com site, they are more expensive per tire (143) and shipping is more.

Unless he can cut us a good deal for a group buy.

when i bought my M&H's i called M&H's tech line.....tubes are not mandatory, they are recommended (by their tech people) to help stabilize the air pressure in the tire, this is not a safety issue but a reliability/performance issue that one can overcome by checking tire pressures between each round.

also if you look at the sidewall on the M&H tires you will see a rotation direction arrow, but unlike uni-directional tires, these arrows are there only as a reference mark for re-locating the tire to the same side of the car each time (according to their tech people i spoke with) and have nothing to do with directional properties of the tires itself, the tires can rotate in either direction.

i got my M&H's from Summitt.
