this drag radial sh*t is weird!..i hear from everyone that the hoosiers hook like a mofo and are a great tire. but billy(maistro69) could never get his car to really hook with them. except that one time when he busted my a$$ and i seen nuthin but his pretty blacked out tail lights all the way down the track!!..and on that same day eddie tried them on his car and spun too!..but im not gonna blame the tire i think it was all driver error!

Is this some new strategy I haven't heard about yet? running two different size drag radials at the same time?

Those Hoosiers have hooked well for me, But with all the new tire options and set ups for slicks Ill be moving on. And Jeff no new strategy I think those are the old vs. new ones he got.

That would work if you could figure out which wheel was going to spin

LOL, no. The tire on the left is one of my old tires (275/4017), the one on the right is my new tire (315/35/17).

Metgo those 315/35/17 do hook well....but at the same time those buggers sling alot of rubber all over the place. The short period I had those big suckers I had many of the track operators at different tracks ask that I get as far into the puddle of water as to insure that I was not slinging little pebbles behind me... If those Hoosiers were not so short... I probably be sticking with them. Oh yea... they don't LAST long. I think I only had less than 20 trips down the track on them before I wore them out.

Nice drag radials. My best 60' time with MT 275 40 17 ET was with a short burnout. Later I found MT's recommendations, here is the link
