Hoosier Radials

I don't know what width wheels you have. I found my 13X31" Hoosiers hooked harder, and felt more stable on wider wheels. Went from 12" to 14" wide wheels, no more wobble at all.
Then, I bought a second set of 14" wheels & bought a pair of MT tires, same size. A-B-A testing during a track rental showed the MTs 5 hun quicker, close to one MPH faster. I use 13 to 15 psi to help corrrect my lights. Both dead hooked, I'm thinking the time differences were maybe sidewall design?
Been so long, I don't remember how much air in the Hoosiers. Have run the Mickeys as low as 12, still no wobble on the 14" wheels. Both brands of tires left better foot prints on 14" wheels.
