So I have been thinking about tires for my project truck... its a 4wd so overall diameter needs to match front to back, but I want a wider tire on the back, and want to use stock rims (16-17" prefferred), AND I would like them to be about 30" tall...This is a non-dd so dry traction is the main focus.
The closests I can come up with after looking at what everyone has to offer are the M&H drag radials....325/45/17 in the rear (28x11.5), and 275/50/17 in the front (28x9.5). M&H makes a 30" cheater slick in 16s but I dont know if I like the idea of tubes on a street truck...
Does anyone with these tires have any comments?

Ive riding in a single cab 6.0, Torquer V2, FBO, 4400 converter and 4.56s...M&H 295/50/17? or a 40 series. They would hold most of the time from a stop/roll on motor, but they wanted nothing to do with the 150, even from a 45 roll.

Im hoping the 4wd will solve most of my problems from low speed....at high speeds when the turbo gets going, well...we will just have to play it by feel
