I run the QTP's 28 x 14.50 x 15 and they seem to work really good. I dont have the best 60' at 1.51 but its the car not the tires. They have stiifer sidewalls then the slicks so they seem more stable on the road and on the top end. Alot of people say they hook as good as the slicks but seem to be more stable.

Tried them both and I liked the Hoosiers better. They seemed to be more consistant and had a better feel to them IMO. The MT's got real gooey when thet got hot and it was difficult for me to tell just how well they were hooking. LOTS more rubber on my white rear fender quarters with the MT's.

I have run both, and for me the QTP works a little better and holds air with no tubes. The et streets with no tubes will leak down. If you run et streets make sure you measure the rollout they are not always sold as a matched set!

Hooiser QTP here. I have run them with and without tubes....they hook well either way, but I prefer to run them without tubes. No issues holding air, I think the tires lost about a pound when it sat for a month.

No tubes. I soaped the inside of mine and they hold air all winter long!

I run tubes in my QTP's. I think they recommend tubes.

I had tubes in mine and the hoosier salesman in BIR told me not to run tubes. I had him pull em out.

Are you guys running the QTPs on the street? How do they wear and drive on the street?

That's how I am reading it. When I get a new set, I may try them without the tubes.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!
