Hi guys
On my my mustang i can run a Hoosier 29x10.5w or the MT 29.5x10.5w. On a stick car wich tire would you be more willing to recommend, any pro's or cons over the manufacture's?

I think as a rule of thumb M/T are a little quicker but the Hoosier's last a good bit longer...I have M/T Radials on my auto stocker now...Hoosiers last year.

Jeff the car went the same @ the fall classic as it did @ the Div. race this spring @ Indy & the Air was ALOT better Last fall! I'd say somewhere between .05 & .08. I did nothing to the car between races...I didn't even change the plugs...( I bought new ones & forgot them @ home! LOL) Oh same fuel too...I mean same fuel as in I didn't put any in the cell...same as was in it in Oct.! ( & yes it passed) (sunoco 110)
