Radial Tire question...

They have two different 30x9 radials, one taller, one wider. I always ran the 3066R (shorter 93", but wider, true 9" tire). 110 passes like clockwork, prints tickets, and was .12-.13 faster than the bias plys. Won a Bracket Finals, World Footbrake Challenge, and a Stock World Championship on these tires.

Only ran the 29.5x9's through one set. Also a good tire, but the 3066R's just fit my gearing better, and liked the extra tread width insurance.

My car does consistent 1.48 60fts with an overcammed bracket
engine. My tires don't rub, down track, just around corners, forward or backward. I thought I'd give the 29.5 Mickey's a try, because they would give me a gear between. 4.56 and 4.88...and figured they would hook just fine,as long a track was good. I bought bias, last year, before my front suspension was redone, with global west stuff. I figured radials wouldn't work too well, with factory stuff. My car seems to work pretty good,,and I think it'll work even better, with more converter and gear.

I agree. One of the best moves I made was to MTs. Tried bias tires also for the local bracket track prep. Didn't hook as well as radials. I think the "bias better on junk tracks" story is out of date. Other SS cars around here found the same thing. They just use them to slow down.

Another was to Santuff shocks.
