Thinking of trying some drag radials out next year . What tires are rated for a combined weight of 7200lbs. The m/h radials look good, but are they rated properly?

I don't know what the proper weight rateing is but I ran my m&ha all summer on the street with no problems I just wouldn't try to road racing lol. My trucks weight is 6200 with me in it

We run the m/t 28-11.5-16 et street and they work fine.But like said above I don't think they would last street racing.

Depends on HP and RPM, but usually 31" or 265/75/16 is a good start.

I really dont think you will find drag tires with that high of rating very easy if ever. But they dont need to be rated that high because they wont get that hot like highway driving plus its short distance then stopped so they have time to cool. I dont know much about drag slicks other then they are about as flimsy as a bike tire.
