Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
Jeff, that car treated Ray well and visa versa.
Not as fast as some ,but deadly consistant.....Ray could throw a .90 at you every time you ran him. Welcome to Super Gas !

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
A lot of cars built in the late '70's and into the '80's that were built around a tire like the 12.2x31.25 or the older 14x32's are running the Hoosier 31.5x12.5 DO5 tire.
It's a stiff sidewall tire. Check the website for the size info. http://www.hoosiermidatlantic.com/su...subCat=2&cat=1

Definatly tubeless.
Saves at least 12-14 pounds of rotating mass.

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
Don't be afraid to try a narrower Hoosier if that's all they make. The traction is better.

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
Neither
Mickey Thompson ALL the way, I used to have Hoosiers on my dragster, and I made the switch to M/T my car got WAAAYYY more consistent. Then my father had switched from Goodyears on his Vega, and got a set of M/T on the car, first race, was in the finals. I will give you one good reason why M/T are superior, if you wanted to go in the 7s with a 10.5 radial tire, which tire brand would you choose? (EVERYONE runs a M/T) and you want to run on the stop with a 14x32 or a 16x33....Mickey Thompson all the way. |
