Mickey PBR's VS Hoosier Radials

Morning all. Anyone done any real world testing of Mickey Thompson Pro Bracket Radials VS Hoosier Radials? When I bought my shaggin wagon it had Hoosiers on it. Worked GREAT! Anyhow couple weekends ago at a big bracket race my kids noticed a few cords showing so I went in search for a set of tires.... Thank You to Marion Stephenson for having some MT bias tires in his trailer. As expected they were slower by a ton! I figured to be .05 slower but it was AT LEAST a dime..... Needless to say they ain't staying on there.We have previous experience with the PBR's on 2 other cars and they are great and last a ton. I'm also not disappointed with less rollout offered by the PBR's as I could use a tiny lil more gear ratio. My main concern is..... if the Hoosiers are faster I don't want to leave anything on the table. Anyone do any ABA testing or have any other experiences??? Thanks in advance!

PS. I have run Hoosiers on my TS car and although they were fast and the car really liked them, they were junk after 40-50 laps. SOOO I guess durability is another question. I have no idea how many laps were on the tires on shaggy but I imagine they had quite a few seasons on em. Still worked great...even with cords showing! LOL!
