if your mach is your daily driver, then you wont want the MT's.

i would hit up the guys at mccormack racing. thier number is: 1-800-999-DRAG(3724), and ask for mark. i bought my et street radials in a 305/35/18 for 550 shipped from them. which was well below anyones pricing. they sell on ebay all the time as mccrace3563. i went and looked though, and they do not have that size on ebay right now. but i would shoot them a call, i am sure they can smoke any price...

I ran 2 different sets of M/T's for a while, and between the two I got about 24k miles out of them combined. Plus I hydroplaned at 35mph in FL and busted a rim on a curb. This was with the same size your looking for. If it doesn't rain much where you are then you'll be fine. Like when I moved to San Antonio I changed the rear rims and tires and was running a 315 M/T ET street and they do great here, because it doesn't rain much...

A vendor on here called crazylegs got me a set like what you want for about $400 shipped. Not sure if he's still selling things through this site or not though.

It's a great tire and since you don't drive it in the rain you're gonna love em. Just a though though, it's always better in my opinion to buy them local unless you can save alot of money. I would rather spend a few dollars more and help out my local economy rather than give the money to someone else.

Compared to what??? sumitomo's!?!?!

M/T's drag radial by far out performs the BFG and the Nittos for dry weather traction, and that's what the OP is getting them for.

I'm a fan of hoosiers.. but going from a street radial to a d/r is night and day. They get a little squirrely in the rain at about 120. (long story, don't do it, i was stupid i know i know)

i normally subscribe to this theory, but personally on the tires my local guys told me to buy from the guy i got em from because that was lower than thier price.
