What Tire is Quicker?

Just looking to see the opinions of all racers who run a 9 INCH radial slick.
What do you think is the quickest for your given combo?
How many have A/B/A tested them.

HOOSIER
GOOD YEAR

We have tested them back to back........Goodyear are the fastest for us
but not very forgiving of a car that is not well set up or on the ragged edge
of traction. Recommend a 10 inch wheel particularly with the Goodyears.

Hoosiers have done pretty well by me. 25 years and counting.

Goodyear's on my stuff is the best, and 180+ runs makes them very affordable. Best 60' 1.28

Good years were a tick faster than the Hoosiers but the Hoosiers last 20 runs longer
20 vs 40.

Modest burn outs.

Don't hate on me - this is just from our real world experience and with back to back testing.
