30/14.0-16LT M&H Racemaster Blackwall Drag Tire
M&H Cheater Slicks feature a bias ply construction, just like a regular drag racing slick, but they have "just enough" tread to pass DOT testing. These street legal cheater slicks are available in several sizes to fit 15- and 16-inch wheels. M&H Racemaster tires are made in the USA!
Blackwall Tire
Since the introduction of carbon black rocked the tire industry, the original recipe for most tires has been a solid black sidewall. For classics and collector cars alike, it's hard to beat the no-nonsense appeal of a classic blackwall style tire. British sports car, classic truck and even hot rod enthusiasts love the way a nice period correct blackwall tire looks on their vehicles.
Bias Ply Construction
Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment & Compatibility â–¼
Will the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT work with upgraded brakes or narrowed rear axles? â–¼
The M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT may work with upgraded brakes or narrowed rear axles, but those changes must be checked directly. Rear disc conversions, aftermarket calipers, custom housings, wheel tubs, and changed backspacing can all alter clearance around a wide drag tire.
A 16-inch tire does not guarantee brake or suspension clearance. Before installing the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT, test the wheel and brake package first, then verify that the mounted tire clears the body, frame, suspension, and brake hardware through rear suspension movement.
Tire Size Equivalents & Conversions â–¼
Is the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT the same as a regular street tire size? â–¼
The M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT is not the same as a regular passenger-car street tire size. It is presented on the PDP as a bias ply M&H Racemaster blackwall drag tire with just enough tread to pass DOT testing, not as a conventional touring or performance radial.
Because the sizing reflects drag racing use, direct comparison to a normal metric tire can be misleading. The M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT should be compared by height, section width, tread width, wheel width range, and rear clearance rather than by general street tire assumptions.
What modern metric size is closest to the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT? â–¼
The provided PDP content does not list a modern metric equivalent for the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT. Because this product is a drag-focused bias ply cheater slick with specialized sizing, forcing a metric comparison may not preserve the same footprint, stance, or launch behavior.
The better approach is dimensional matching. Compare the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT by overall diameter, section width, tread width, rim width compatibility, and rear wheelhouse clearance. Those measurements are more reliable than a rough metric substitute.
Performance & Use Case â–¼
How does the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT balance street legality and drag performance? â–¼
The M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT balances street legality and drag performance through its cheater slick design. The PDP states that the tire has bias ply construction like a drag slick, but with just enough tread to pass DOT testing.
That balance comes with trade-offs. The M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT is not intended to feel like a normal highway radial, and wet-road caution is important because tread is minimal by design. Buyers should choose it when drag stance and traction matter more than all-season street comfort.
Construction, Durability & Load Capacity â–¼
Is the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT DOT approved? â–¼
The PDP states that M&H Cheater Slicks have just enough tread to pass DOT testing and describes them as street legal cheater slicks. That is the visible product signal supporting DOT-style street legality for this product line.
Street legal does not mean the tire behaves like a normal street tire. The M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT is still a bias ply drag tire with minimal tread. Buyers should use appropriate caution in wet conditions, confirm local usage expectations, and drive within the tire’s intended performance envelope.
Installation & Maintenance â–¼
What should I check before installing the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT? â–¼
Before installing the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT, confirm 16-inch wheel diameter, rim width compatibility, wheel condition, brake clearance, rear suspension clearance, fender clearance, and load suitability. A large cheater slick requires more rear fitment planning than a typical street tire.
Also compare the PDP dimensions for tread width, section width, and overall diameter with your current rear tire. The M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT should be checked at ride height and under suspension compression, especially on lowered, mini-tubbed, or narrowed-axle cars.
Should the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT be used with a tube? â–¼
The visible PDP content does not state whether the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT requires a tube or is tubeless. Because cheater slick mounting can depend on tire specification, wheel design, bead condition, and intended use, buyers should verify the correct mounting method before installation.
Do not assume tube use from appearance alone. The M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT should be mounted according to the tire’s specifications and the installer’s assessment of the wheel. Proper valve stem and sealing setup are important for pressure stability.
What long-term ownership issues should I watch with the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT? â–¼
With the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT, watch for pressure loss, uneven wear, cracking, cuts, sidewall scuffs, flat-spotting, vibration, rubbing marks, and changes in launch traction. These signs can point to pressure issues, suspension problems, clearance problems, wheel damage, or tire aging.
Storage also matters for a specialty drag tire. Keep the M&H Cheater Slick 30/14.0-16LT away from prolonged sunlight, ozone sources, petroleum products, and harsh chemicals. Regular inspection helps preserve the blackwall appearance, cheater slick function, and street legal drag character.
