MH 215/65 DOT slicks 60-foot list

[jim martin]

thanks for the welcome,hey 2nd post on a roll

if i was still swing 8" slick may of been possible .
but i converted to a custom irs type setup which gives very little camber change.
great for a flat contact patch but allows for no wheel tuck as it  rides almost straight up and down throughout
the rear wheel travel.
so will need to stick with the dot or go slick

Hi Jim and welcome to The Lounge. Please feel free to post some pictures of your car and share some of your spec if you like  10.32 is the quickest ET so far.

Where in Europe can I buy these bad boys for a decent price?

[neil68]

If you can't find a European supplier, M&H can probably ship direct at a reasonable price.  I've ordered two sets shipped to Canada and they both arrived promptly, at a small shipping cost.  John Hashim is great to deal with and seems excited that we are buying these tires to use on the drag strip for our Beetles!

Thank you for sharing. Looked like a nice and straight pass indeed. Dragging the muffler a little bit in the launch

I have a set of DOTs which have ran about 12 miles, I have noticed small sidewall cracking.
Ran down the track once, on the sidewall there looks like a date 2003. I can only assume its because they are old.

If so get out there guys and use up the tread 
 

[jim martin]

My first pair were from 2003 as well and. Are still soft, how they are stored
Has a lot to do with it , John at M&H told me years ago keep them outa the sun
Off the cement and in a environment that will not dry them out

[flatfire]

They have always been in a cool sun free environment. I suppose before I bought them they may have been stored differently . They were wrapped and had the stickers still on them when received

Call John at M&H , send him a picture
And see what he thinks , best to always ask
