radial slicks

72Malibu · 04-27-2009, 09:09 PM

I've been running Hoosier 30x9x15 or 30x10.5x15 radial slicks for the last several years. How do they compare to MT or GY radial slicks. Which do you run and why? thanks in advance.

That's a bracket car, right?
Why do you want to run radials at all?

Max performance is the only reason, it works great, hooks even on marginal tracks(early season TNT not included). I usually get 100-120 passes out of a pair of slicks, didnt know if MT or GY would have any more life in them. I imagine the stocker guys probably run a new set every time out.

I don't know about that. I used to run Hoosiers right down to the cords,...... high 11 sec. car

72Malibu,
I tried goodyear they were great for about 30 runs after that I tried Hoosier as Mark said
you can run them down to the cords on a high 10 second car,
