Man why can't somebody make a 32.0x10.0 or 9-16 drag radial for us. Those do look killer though don't they.

I need that in 17 - just think how long I'll be waiting. Either that or I have to shave about a 1/2" off my caliper to make a 16 fit. I'm just not to that point yet. I have 2 brand new ET Streets in 26x11.5x17 and they are way too short. I also have a pair of M&H Racemasters 275/50/17 but they aren't much better. Come on Nitto!!!

Yep I have the same M&H racemaster drag radial and they are tiny I could imagine that the 26''ers gotta look silly.

Some of us can use them. I probably won't purchase anytime soon but glad to see there is some more competition out there to help drive the price down.
