Default NEW Mickey Thompson 315/35/17 Drag Radials!!

There's been a lot of talk about the Mickey Thompson 315's for a while now and they're finally hitting the streets.

We've been able to get our hands on quite a few of them even though they're still very hard to get.

The Mickey Thompson drag radial has proven itself to be one of the best radials on the market since they were released and now with these larger sizes becoming available I'm sure we're going to see them more widely used then before.

Why are all these drag radials always 1 inch shorter than the stock diameter? It 26 inches just a very popular diameter among other cars? That'd be my guess.

Just for the record, these will fit without rubbing? Would I be better off with a tire that isn't quite as wide since i'm still NA?

While i'm asking questions, Do ya'll offer a tire rim package? I'd like to be able to buy these mounted and balanced on some dedicated track rims.
