I'm a die hard Phoenix user,but I will say that I agree to use tubes.I've never used a set of slicks without them and I get great life and consistant hook.The tubes will save the sidewalls.

The Hoosier rep talked me into trying stiff sidewalls on my 2860 lb(w/o me) Duster. I only made 1/2 dozen passes before I suffered engine damage and was trying different tire pressures, but I did get my old 60' back on the last pass even w/ the engine going away.
Just my opinion, but I think w/a good adjustable suspension you should be OK. The Hoosier stiff sidewalls are only stiff about 2 inches out from the rim and then just like a regular slick the rest of the way to the tread. They recomended I don't use tubes. Hope this helps.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.
