We have 2 sets of radial tires M/T PBRs & Hoosiers. I would like to say they are both great tires. We have about 800-900 passes using Hoosiers & around 150 passes on the M/T's. The Hoosiers we get 150-200 runs out the tires (150 was the lightweights).The M/T's are our 1st set, but looks like we'll get an easy 200 runs.
As for performance, the tires are not identically set-up. The Hoosiers are 30x9 (92.5 RO), they have been run on 8" or 10" rims. The M/T's are 29.5x10.5 (94.2 RO) on a 9" rim. The M/T's are around 7 lbs. heavier per tire. Plain & simple the Hoosiers are .02-.03 quicker, but all around I like the M/T's slightly more.
These are run on a 1980 Camaro bracket car. It weighs 3050 with driver, 434 sbc & runs high 9s.
