76 Volare ladder bars, Alden coilover rear. The car has always hooked well, even with the M/T street radial. Now it has M/T 29.5 x 9 slicks. Have had no problem from them at all. I have prob 40 passes on them so far. All of a sudden they will not hook. I have plenty wear holes left. I have aired them up and down and keep spinning. When comming out of the water, they hook real hard, pull up, and spin out of the hole. I hate to buy more tires if there is something else wrong. Anybody??

Have you tried rotating them/swap one side for the other side yet? Sometimes that will bring them back

I ran Mickey Thompson for years. That is the reason I switched. Tires went away on some sets. For every one or two good sets I had I had a set that I was unhappy with. Buy a Phoenix tire and you will never go back. I run them on three different cars for the last 6 years. My 2

I have rotated them once. I didnt start messing with anything before it started spinning, started adjusting coilovers after it started. I roll through the water, clean them off and pull to dry ground to heat. I had better luck with the radial for sure.
