MT vs Hoosier Small Tire

DailyDriverSst · 02-04-2025, 01:15 AM

I am currently running an MT 3754X - effectively a 28x10 (actual tread width) (11.4 section) Radial with an R2 "Medium" compound.

I bought a set of wheels with a set of Hoosier 18155 on them, 28 x 10 (actual tread width) (12.3 section) C07 bias ply.

I also have a set of MT 3060R, 30x9 (actual tread width) (12.5 section) R1 "less medium" compound unmounted that I was actually wanting to use and bought the wheels for.

And this got me thinking - out of everybody that runs Stock and SStock across the country, surely somebody has some notes that they could share to a SSt fellow.

The 3754's are all I have known, as the Drag & Drives require the DOT stamp for 11.0 index. But they are borderline unpredictable and require a lot of glue to work well. I got the 3060's used in hopes that a taller tire, despite being narrower, would help in that regard. I don't necessarily launch hard, but I have a lot of weight to get moving down low.

4400 pounds
Procharged Small Block (EFI)
3200 launch, 1.98 low Glide
1.5x short time
