Stick Car tire recommendation

Dana Fitzpatrick · 05-03-2014, 11:05 AM

68 Camaro,legal Stocker chassis, BB 4-speed.Newer build, I have 30x9 D07 Hoosiers on now. I'm getting ready to buy new slicks and am wondering how well the stick shift M/T's work for guys who have run them. I like the Hoosiers,but always looking to improve. Do the M/T's last longer? 9.80 car,mid 1.30 shorts. Thanks!

Well its not as fast as your Camaro, but on my 85 Mustang M/S, I have used both the 3056ST 9x29 1/2 "stick" tire, as well as the 9 x29 Hoosier stick compound. The hoosier was a touch quicker, both brands seem to hold up quite well run wise. With its cvurrent bracket engine, my Mustang has gone 10.2-3 at 128mph, with a 1.37 60 foor on the Hoosiers. I have yet to try the MTs with this bracket engine.

The 1909 Goodyear is a very choice for a stick car. Made a big difference in my program. They run slightly bigger than the Hooisers, and the MT's

I also use the D07 30x9 Hoosiers on the advice of a former D/S record holder. They work well.

The 29.5x9 MT Stick tires were on my car when I won class at Indy 2012, 2013 as well as number 2 qualifier 10.02 @ 133.90 B/S (2012) Its the only tire I ever ran. I am sure the Hoosiers are equally as good.

With your setup. I would only run the Goodyear 1909 tire. I tried when I built my car to run the M/T 30x9ST and could not get it to hold the car. went with the 1909 Goodyear and love it.

Dana,

If you remember a few REALLY REALLY fast guys from your neck of the woods, they were always the quickest and fastest with that combination with the GY tire.

You must be talking about the blue and white cars. Gosh, do I miss them!

1909 on a 12'' wheel works very well.
