    I live in Sweden and have been trying to order M&H Racemaster Nostalgia Drag Slicks tyres for my Vintage Altered for a long time during this autumn. After several months of back-order I got info today that production has ended of the M&H Nostalgia Drag Slicks product line. :-(

    Does anyone here know if this is true or not? Nostalgia racing is ever growing so it feels really strange that this types of tyres are discontinued and will not be produced anymore. But if it is true, does anyone here know of a good nostalgia subs***ute for M&H Racemaster Nostalgia Drag Slicks?

    Did you try buying tires directly from Coker tire? Maybe Calling Coker tire directly can get you some answers.

    HAMB--- Really??

    SO SORRY my post offended
    The OP asked a question on what was being used since M&H had discontinued that tire. The OP was in a bind and I offered help. Again I'm sorry that the only picture of the replacement was on a Nostalgia Top Fuel car
    Having run that tire, I suspect M&H thought the the market was too small for them to invest resources to find out why their tires were chunking the tread. While not an issue in the lower cl***es, the fear of them being used in faster cl***es was a problem

    There are currently about 110 ships waiting to unload at LA/Long Beach. At 8,000 to 10,000 containers per ship, that is somewhere between 880,000 to 1,100,000 containers, each the size of a trailer truck, and that is just at that particular port complex.

    I got the info from my shipping contact in USA, but unfortunately I don´t know where they order from.

    After I got the info I checked the homepage for M&H (www.mandhtires.com) and fond nothing. Last time I ordered the tires (around 2017) the M&H hompage definitively had information about "my" tires.

    I ordered a pair of Coker 9.00-15 M&H vintage drag slicks via Jegs last week (price was the same but shipping is free) and they showed a backorder to mid February. Fingers crossed.
