I do Know Michael Beard is real high on the PBR's
Tells me they "Print" time slips.

They are a great tire and deadly. We have them on our old pure stocker/footbrake car and our S/St car. I did quite a bit of chassis work back in the day and if this tire was around back them I wouldn't have done nearly as many back half jobs! Our S/St car has an alky small block and runs the 29.5 x 10 PBR and it's STUPID how good that car is.

I'm just hoping to not leave any et on the table IF the Hoosier is faster.

I run Hoosier radials on my super stock car. They work great and last a full season. I have been told the Mickey's are faster but I personally have never back to backed them. I did try the mickeys at one time and I don't think they lasted like the Hoosiers.
Most stockers I see are running Hoosier.

Bias to radial on my car was 0.13 each time I made the switch.

Goodyear makes a good long lasting and fast Stock radial. Dumbo went 1.24 60' the car weighs 3415.

We run Goodyear Radials on all our Stock and Superstock cars!

How well do the Goodyear Radials hold air? My Mickey’s I’m lucky to get a few days but the Hoosiers can sit a year and loose zero. I have to put jack stands under the car with the Mickeys while it’s parked.

Sorry, I’m not referring to the Mickey pbr loosing air it’s the bias drag tire persistently going flat and that’s even with the dish soap treatments
