Hoosier or M and H drag radials?

[Little Don]

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are about these two. I called 402 today and she said that most are going with the Hoosier and that the M and H are harder to get.
The Hoosiers are a smaller diameter but not sure if that is better or not.

I am getting FRI Street/Strip heads, Sparrow cam, and Protorque torque converter installed along with my 100 shot.

What size ?

She didn't have that information when I called. According to their website the M&H are 275/50 R17 but they don't list the Hoosiers. I thought they maybe were talking about these.

M&H aren't that hard to get. Just call them 661-324-4773. I ordered direct and had them in a few days. Haven't got a chance to run them yet, motor still being built, but it won't be long. I went with 325/45/17 on a 17x9 Mustang Cobra Replica. Good Luck!

You will get more passes out of the m&h tires but the Hoosiers are more sticky and give you better gearing.

Well the problem is if you go with too big of a tire ... your not really helping yourself. The 325/45/17 may be a bit too big for a R/T which may not have enough torque to utilize it.

The 275 Hoosiers should work real good for his mods...as Metgo has stated being 25 inches tall IMO even with the spray.

That is the type of info I was looking for guys. I really appreciate the help!
