Slick Recommendation for stick car

MLinden · 08-16-2025, 03:37 PM

We are trying to get a car set up this year and having a lot of difficulty with traction. 69 Camaro, 427, Jerico. Working with Calvert to ensure that was all correct and they said the tires are shot (20 runs) and to get a stiffer sidewall and harder compound. Tires are Hoosier 29x9 D06

I don't see any stiff sidewall tires in 9 inch on the Hoosier site. Mickey Thompson has a 29.5x9 (3056ST) which says it is recommended for manual transmissions. The MT site also calls out a different stiff sidewall tire for cars over 3,000 lbs (3360), but do not have it in a 9" tire.

What are others running for tires with a stick?
