no one is talking about the diff tire compounds there, just sizes... I already know the size I want.

ok so get them either slick will work

24.5 on a 15" rim will rub when turning as stated

Let me know if I can price you out on M&H

what about MT?

I run the MT but both brands are good either way.

Due to M/T rudeness and lack of support of the guys with the smaller tires, I'm going to say M &H. Plus they are the pioneers of the slick tires, why not go with the guys who invented it?

i have ran both and they both preform for me so no deciding factor

To start with, I ordered the MT ET street DR 14" Its 24.1" and doesnt bulge out too much.

Looking over the 15" options again, I had a feeling they would hit the strut spring perch... so for the time being Im gonna use these and take some more measurements and go from there.
