I had 40-50 runs on them and they looked like crap.....BUT hooked good anywhere I raced....I even had a flat and plugged it and they still worked fine. I replaced them soon after the flat.....

I put Hoosier radials on the car to try them and they did not hook in my opinion as well as the M/T's.....I tried various air pressure settings......higher, lower.......and I still felt hook was a little off with those Hoosier's....

This was a 10 second car with 60 foot times in the 1.30's most of the time....
This might be top secret info:
What air pressure?
What width wheel?
What did the car weigh?

Thanks for all of the help!
