Sorry I don't have one to share but I have the email to a Hoosier engineer from PRI that said they may be willing to design 27" tall 17/18" front skinnies for modern muscle cars.
I too have 26" up front and would like the extra height w/o the 28" that can look bulky.
Anyone interested in 27" front runners?

I wish someone (Nitto, MT, etc..) would make a stock replacement 19" drag radial. They would sell a lot more drag radials if one of these companies would step up, and design a 295/35/19 !

My '07 with 17" Racestars up front and a 27.5" Hoosier. The tire is not DOT compliant.

Love seeing GT500s with big and skinnies. Really shows the car's heritage, especially the photos taken at the track :beer:

I still think the 28" tall 17" diameter looks too bulky, especially with a 28" rear.
M&H does make a bias 28x4x18" that looks better with less sidewall, but none of the 27.5-28" are radials.
I still think a 27" radial front for 17 and 18" front runners is needed.
Anyone else?
