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

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

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

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
