Hoosier tire compound recommendation for bias 9X30

Johnny McDermott · 11-16-2011, 10:01 AM

Hello,

A poster on YB recommended that I post this question on this forum.

For a 3800 lbs., 3 speed automatic, footbraked 10 second car would you recommend the 9X30 bias ply tire in the D05 or D07 compound?

One response on YB hinted that D07 is a manual transmission compound. Does this indicate that it is firmer than the C07? Is the car too heavy for the D05?

Thanks.

I believe he is correct. My car is about 3800# and when I used to run Hoosiers I ran the D07 but I run M/T's now and I don't think I'd go back.

Use the Hoosier radials in probably the CO7 compound. I run the CO6's and have been in the low 1.30's in 60'. I think the radials are more consistent than the bias. The CO7's have a stiffer sidewall and a little more rubber on the tread but the 6's are lighter.

My car is 3600 lbs I run the radials in C06 they work great!

D07 is for manual trans. Hoosier tech can probably make a recommendaton for you.

I've got a radial but I'm looking for a super hooking bias to be more consistent with. Since only the two compounds are offered in the 30X9 inch size should I look at a slick from another brand for my application?

Goodyear, M/T?

9x30 Pheonix Bias ply... 150 passes and were still hookin on low 11sec bird at 3600lbs 1.48-1.50 60fts... not a stocker, but a cheap 455 bracket motor with 4.11 gears... great tires. I pulled them off when check holes were disappearing... they had alot more runs on them... it's a footbrake car too.
