Drag radial life/ max passes ?
Hi ,
I know a lot here run either Hoosier or Goodyear radial slicks What lap life are you achieving ? Car is 3780lbs Plymouth Satellite 680hp big block , 4.1 gear transbrake , 10" rim I currently run MT pro bracket radial 29.5x10.5 but there is none newer than 2016 available here in Oz and no idea if newer coming . I would like to see 100-125 passes minimum . This is bracket racing car runs high 10.20s , 1.42-1.44 sixty . If there was a true 29" radial i would be happy , quickest pass ever was on a 28"PBR , and think the 30" may be just a tad too tall . I have run Hoosier 275s before but only got 70-85 passes . Never run Goodyear . TIA Tex |
Re: Drag radial life/ max passes ?
I run the Hoosier 30 x 9 C07 radial on a car that performs almost exactly the same as yours, and I get 150-200 runs from them. I also have a 10" rim and run 17 psi.
I do a very short burnout with no line lock and the tires perform great through their entire life. |
Re: Drag radial life/ max passes ?
150-200 runs with Goodyear 30x9. Pretty much any new radial shouldn’t need a whole lot of burnout.

Re: Drag radial life/ max passes ?
Thanks guys .
If I can get that many passes I will be good for a season . They are over $400 each here so got to help the budget . Looks like I will go the Hoosier , I know the distributor has just got a new delivery so they cant be too old . Tex |
Re: Drag radial life/ max passes ?
Goodyears give me 175/200 runs and still have check holes. Best 60' low 1.28's 3250# car 10'' wheel, NHRA A/SA six pack. 92 5/8 roll out also available in 94'' roll out

thanks Larry .
I believe they only have the 1 Goodyear available here , will double check Tex |
Re: Drag radial life/ max passes ?
ok
thanks everyone . Bought the Hoosier 30x10.5 R15 , 92 rollout . Only tyre I could get that was not sitting too long , GY was 94 . Shorter tyre should help , PBR was 94.5 . Will start @ 19 1/4 psi and shock settings as used before . If I can sit low 1.40s I will be happy Darn the $ exchange busted the price out . Better get a season of racing . Tex |

G,day Tex,
What p/no tyre was that mate if you don't mind? Cheers Paul |
Re: Drag radial life/ max passes ?
I'd guess it was the 18215.
The 18214 also fits the description, but if looking for longest possible life, I wouldn't use the 'lightweight' tire. |
