My question is more about the section width?
They state it's 12.3", wouldnt that fit under most 68-72 wheel wells?
I think 295/50's are 12" section, so that's about 1/4" more width on the M&H tire ?
Anyone use these?

OK, If it wasn't for a small matter of $440.00 they would already be on the brown truck.
I dont understand how every other company that makes that size advertises a 13" section and theres is 12.3"?
I'm shure once there mounted, they cant be returned .

My best freind has them on his 70 GMC pick up and another on his 70 Chevelle. They are WAY narrower than advertised. My buddy with the Chevelle has them on 10" wide wheels and the sidewalls are almost straight up and down. On the truck has the 325/45/17's. Same width but in the 17" wheel. He has them on an 8" wheel and they are no wider than the 275's that came off the truck! Here is a pic of them on the truck. I will try and get a better shot of them. They hook good too!

On the 10" wheel the 325/50/15 tuck perfect on a Chevelle....They are no wider than my 275's.

I was looking at the M&H's as well but I couldn't get a straight answer out of the guy I talked to there.

I ended up getting the MT 28X12R-15 S/R radials. The section width is 12.10" and the tread is 10.40" the height is 28". Plus they are less expensive that the M&H's.

The 275/60-15's that I took off were a section width of 11.00 and I could never find a tread width but you can see by the photos they are very nice compared to the 275's.

You will have to trim the edge of the wheel wells if you want to run them up in the wells. If you run them above the tire just slightly you won't have to do anything.

Here are some pix.

We stuffed a set of M&H 325/50/15 radials under a friend's 70 Chevelle on 15 x 10 Bogarts... they drive great on the street and have good stick. As Ron said, they do seem to run narrow, the sidewalls are nearly vertical on a 10" wheel.

Trimming & rolling the lips is a must, but they tuck well (his car is pretty low) and look mean.
