Hoosiers.

**randkcustoms** · 07-12-2009, 10:14 PM

lol I should have lol. Here is what im looking to do guys. I have the new 09 R/T Axles so I BELIVE i have the weeklink fixed. Im going to be spraying 125-150 shot. If I could spray out of the hole that would be killer. I will be running my stock 20's up front with a Radial on them. I have been reading alot of mixed reviews on the two tires. The ET's seem more forgiveing on the drivetrain than others. and I like that. Since they are bias ply I will just keep them at 18 PSI or around that. But the Hoosiers seem to be good to. I never figgered picking a tire would be so hard lol. O yeah there will be 0 street time on the tires to. so thats what im looking at.

Hoosiers all the way.
They hook a lot better and all the fast cars run them.

That was until slicks came out.

I've run the hoosiers and have been very happy with them. You should have no problem spraying a 125 out of the hole. I've had consistent 1.54-1.56 60' times with them. I run them at 18psi. When I'm on motor I run them at 20psi. I can't break them loose on motor.

Ok. Slideway just has a pretty good price on M/T ET Streets and wheels for $525 shipped. Pretty much im looking for the best tire thats going to be less of a strain on the rear end ect lol. I have heard the Radials are HARD on rear end parts. so thats were im stuck out.

I went to ET Street biasplys after 50-75 runs on ET Street drag radials and busted my stock halfshafts and broke my whole rear end on my very first run with the biasplys. Coincidence?

The Hoosiers work great. Unfortunately, I only got one pass out of the 315's I got from you. I was backing up in the pits and ran over a bolt that went through the tire.

If you not getting the Hoosier SLICKS... get the M/T ET STREET Biasplys!

Unless you go for the Hoosier 315s.

The question is why not M&H 325s IMO they are the hookingest of all other than the Hoosier SLICKS.
