If you are talking about the M/T slicks 20 inches and 22 inches tall. They are very very hard. They last years.
The only reason we run them is they are short and make up some for the lack of a final drive ratio.. The best I can get is 3.73 to 1 With a motor that can make power to 9,000 rpms. I'll need to run as short a tire as possible.
The M&H tires are softer, but no where near RWD tires.
I belive, If we could get a better gear ratio nobody would use them

Art thanx for the reply was really thinking about something in a 27 or 28 inch tall tire and about 10 inches wide, really as light in weight as possible---ratios are no real problem for me--- Thanx Comp 387
