M&D drag radials

I just ordered 275-50-15 m&d drag radials and was wonder if anyone has used them. I have a Manual with 3.31 gears. I'm looking to hit 11's

Yep, might help if you listed mods. If your mounting them on a 74 pinto, then no.

I have a 2014 GT track car with 3.73. I cannot get tracking for anything. Drag radials are not advised for manuals. You will have to make sure you don't get to much Traction out of the whole or things will brake.

What Modes do you have?

I hit 11.91 on a mild 91 tune and slick tire on my old 3.73 Brembo car. Full load of options on it, too. I used a Hoosier 10" drag slick. Radials + manual = potential bustage. It really felt totally different on a slick and a lot less violent at launch. Good for 1.6 60s on a stock BBP springs, shocks and bar.

I'm guessing you mean M&H tires...never heard of M&D....

I should have listed my car.
I have a 2011 mustang gt. My mods are bmr lower control arms, tune, short throw shifter, 2014 motor, cai and shift-light. M&H drag radials on
15 x8" race stars. I went with M&H after some research and talking to the M&H company about there sidewalls. There sidewalls are more flexible and in my horsepower level are good with a manual.

I have run 1.9 60 foot times with 255-45-18 nitto's nt555's on the 2011 motor. I'm hoping to improve it.
