Turn up the brightness there's a obvious difference. The newer ones only come in certain sizes.

Old

Newer

I just love these tires. I had to settle for BFG's last year because the were on back order. They were a disappointment compared to the Mt's I'm so glad I got them this season. The new pattern out handled the BFG's lasted longer and did better in the rain. I even prefer them to Nittos as far as traction handling and wet weather. I have never used Nittos over a long period just back in forth to the track a few times which as 90 miles each way.

The newer thread design is a step above the older thread design and really makes them competitive in all areas now just not traction. I know Hoosier works well but are a hazardous for daily driving. M&H look about the same as MT's new pattern but are about 30-40 more on the average.

I feel the new MT's are hard to beat because they do so well in every category now.

MT's there is no substitute.

+100000 for the street there is no substitute.

im runnin M & H racemaster slicks and they hook hard as hell, but expect the best with MTs
