Joe
My car will hook any were, mainly due to the the HP it don't have(LOL)
When you can catch them on sell they cost 220.00 a pair to your door.

Joe, what compound have you run? In my division, Donnie Hough's car will hook anywhere even in the left lane at Shreveport. I would look at your suspension setup and the compound that you run. I found that the reason that Donnie was hooking and I wasn't was because he runs Hoosiers CO6 compound and I was running CO7's. My car was hooking anywhere except the local track often call Spin City.With a good shock(Sanhuffs if you can afford), Caltracs/CompEng bar, Caltrac springs, loose front end, etc. the radials will hook as good as any bias tire. Hope this helps.

My brother tells me I would spin the tires, I don"t buy that story, boy those stick shift guys, lol

Joe, I have run my dad's bias stick tires with no issues.
