They are the lightweight radials

On an A/SA car c06 wont last as long as c07 , but an A car gets less tire life in general compaired to my E car , I do 2 to 3RD gear burn out count to 5 and drive out , 20psi . What rear shocks and settings and do you hit a wheelie bar like most A/SA cars ?

Re: Hoosier radial drag slick
 

I run the C07 tire at 17 psi on a 10" rim and get at least 150 passes. I don't use the line lock at all on the burnout. 1-2 and out. Car is 3600 lbs, 1.41 - 10.20.

I experimented with Goodyears for a bit but I've generally run this same combination on Hoosier radials since 1995.

Re: Hoosier radial drag slick
 

You should be using more than 15 lbs air pressure

Re: Hoosier radial drag slick
 

we run 20.5 psi
never tried going up or down from there
always heard 17 to 21 without much
different to 60 ft time

Re: Hoosier radial drag slick
 

I've run 16-26 and the car runs the same. I've gone lower on psi trying to get them to wear evenly, but I still wear the centers out first. I usually only check them before the first and second runs of the day because it really doesn't seem to matter.

A couple times I have waited too long to replace them and when these tires are done, they are DONE and will not hook at all.

My bad wrong thread

Re: Hoosier radial drag slick
 

Willy If you are getting close to 40 passes on a set of lightweights you have done well. You are running A/SA with a big block Chevy not only will it eat tires but it also likes the taste of money. Not sure why you put a set of lightweights on. Buy the regular ones and you will get 50 plus runs on them. BP

Re: Hoosier radial drag slick
 

I think you're addressing the wrong guy. I've never run the lightweights specifically because I'm trying to maximize the life on my heavy, small-tire BBC bracket/Super Street car. I wouldn't run anything other than radials though.
