The Hoosier's are easy enough to rotate (non-directional) to help maintain balance. The M/T's are directional & may need to be re-balanced or moved back to their original mounting/balance position.

I bought new wheels with beadlocks to use with the PBRs & have a set of Hoosier's mounted on traditional Weld wheels for spares.

Racers can do as they wish. The one thing I will not do is use wheel screws with radials.
Curios how much the double beadlocks slow you down?
