Mickey or hoosier

I raced an LT-1 powered Firebird Stocker a couple years ago......

First set of tires I had were M/T radials 3066R I think was the tire number......Tread wear was pretty poor but I was probably doing to much burnout. I had 40-50 runs on them and they looked like crap.....BUT hooked good anywhere I raced....I even had a flat and plugged it and they still worked fine. I replaced them soon after the flat.....

I put Hoosier radials on the car to try them and they did not hook in my opinion as well as the M/T's.....I tried various air pressure settings......higher, lower.......and I still felt hook was a little off with those Hoosier's....

This was a 10 second car with 60 foot times in the 1.30's most of the time....
