Grant,
Let me try to explain what Stephen and sq34 said but in a different way. Goodyear hasn't made a good sportsman stick tire that's worth yesterdays ice water in years. M/T is the tire of choice for a stick car in my opinion. There is nobody that puts in more R&D time than M/T on their sportsman drag tires. If you want to spend $1,600 for a set of Pro Stock tires then Goodyear might be worth a couple thousandth in et. I race with the head R&D guy for M/T and he is always testing tires... always. Billy Glidden has a separate engine just for M/T tire testing events. You will not find a better stick tire for the sportsman racer in my opinion.
