Debating on reordering the Hoosiers or trying out the M&H 17 inch slicks they offer. Does anyone have the M&H?

You probably looking at the new size 28x 10.5". They are wider than the Hoosiers 17". I am sure they work great.
I used the small 26" x 8.5 m&h and they hook as good than the Hoosier( 1.52 best 60ft) on my 2015. The only reason I switch to Hoosiers is because I wanted a 28" slicks and at that time Hoosier was the only choice.

I really like Hoosier 17" a lot also but if I still have my m6 I would have probably try the m&h for my next slick

Hey Stephane. I was wondering, between the 26" M&H and the 28" Hoosiers, did you notice any difference on rear end sway? I am considering buying a pair of M&H because I have 3.31 gearing. I know your 2015 had 3.55, so the 28" was better suited, but if I stay with 3.31 I think the 28" is too tall.

I'd love to find some good used 26"x10.5"x17" around Montreal, but nothing yet.

I run the M&H 275/40R/17 on my 2019 GT A10 and they work great.

They are for sale (25 1/4 runs) with or without the 17'' x 9.5'' Racestars if your interested.I am on the southshore of Mtl.
I also have the fronts in 18'' x 5'' with M&H 185-50R-18 for sale which fit with the Brembo's

Yup. I would like to find some 26". I am considering swapping out gearing to 3.55s, then the 28" would be the same as 26" with 3.31s

Decisions, decisions...don't know where to spend my money!

Probably a little bit of apples to oranges but I ran a 26 inch slick (ET R bias ply) on a 15 x 8 wheel on my KB car .....once and never again.
I had a 3.31 rear end then with my 2.66 first gear Magnum XL so I needed a shorter tire than 28 inch to help it get out of the hole .
It was crazy and swayed like hell . I went 10.03 @144 (trapped in third !!) with a 1.5 x 60’ft but the sway was so bad I hit a center cone and had to get out of it well before the traps .
When I previously ran the car with 28 inch hooisrs on 17 wheels it went straight as an arrow .

Rear end is now 4.10 so I am hoping for better results(9.99 wil do ) with a 28 inch tire .
I will probably start with the 17 inch wheels (have new ET R bias, M&H and the old Hoosiers ) on 3 different sets of wheels .... and yes I have a tire fetish . Lol
If I need to drop some weight then I also have 28 inch ET bias ply on a 15x9 wheel .
I still have the 26 inch bias tires (on some nice 15 x 9 welds) but I would have to have a death wish to try them again .
I know you are looking for 17 tires but if you ever end up with drag brakes so you can run a 15 inch wheel you can have them for cheap (without the wheels ) .... they have barely a 1/4 mile on them .Lol
