M/T 26x11.5x17
 
Is there any possible way to make the M/T 26x11.5x17 on a stock 17 in mustang rim? I want to use these as a track tire only.

i think that size is equivalent to a 275/40

Well I found the answer to my own ? when i got these mounted. MT website said the rim recommended for it was 11in but i was able to get it mounted on the stock 17 in rim :D now for another ? whats a good pressure to run em at the track?

start at 20...

spike will prolly tell you to start at 25...


if either dont benefit you go lower...since you are running slicks i would really start at 13.

I started at 25 yesterday at the track and was getting shitty times my best time was a 14.0 with them inflated at 20 psi but that was my last run wasnt able to get any 60ft with times under 2.0's. I forgot to mention they are M/T Et streets.

Says min rim width is 8.5" so should fit with a little bulge no big deal. I would drive there on 22psi and then start there and work my way down till you get a good contact patch. Most likely you will end up around 15-18psi in them.

Well i was kind of weary on driving them to the track bcuz i thought the rim was too small for the tire and it is a good 45 min to the track so I decided to just put them on at the track so I wouldnt even risk it. I will try next time i go to the track at 18 psi and go from there thanks spike.
