Anyone here running these ? Specifically 28x9R15 or 28x10.5R15 I need some new tyres and the Hoosier radial I run is out of stock I only have 8 or 8 1/2" rear rims so it would seem the 28x9 is my only choice in the MT Will the 28x9 be enough for my Satellite ? I do not want to buy and find a poor result as they are $364.00 each here

There is a guy running some done here with a transbrake used Nova that runs 6.40's. I've asked him about them and he loves them so far. Needs very little burnout and is more forgiving than the tradition radial. Lasts longer too.

I run them on my radial/ outlaw 275 car. Been 1.12 60' and lots of 1.13- 1.15. Some guys have been alot faster than that on them. They are easier to make work than a real drag radial but are by no means a slick. Still got to have a good shock and car set up. Have about 50 passes on them in the 4 sec zone still working great so imagine they would be long lasting on a bracket car.
One day I will have something cool here.

The OP is referencing the new "Pro-Bracket Radial", which is a true Radial construction Drag Slick, and is probably not legal for a an "outlaw 275" class(??). http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=BracketRadial

They are legal in most of the heads up classes. ET Street Radial, Pro Bracket Radial and the Pro drag radial.

The Pro Bracket Radial is allowed in many classes that radials and slicks are both allowed.........So SD knows what tire he has.
They are NOTHING like a bias slick, but are more forgiving than true drag radials. You can't just toss them on and expect to treat them like a slick, or hit them like a slick.............But they are a bad azz tire. Many have had them on Outlaw Radial cars at recent races and I know Jeff Sitton went a .998 60ft on them at SGMP
These are NOT the same tire construction as the ET Drag Radial slick

thanks guys . talked to MT this morning , you can use the 28x10.5 on a narrower rim without too much disadvantage . Also talked to Centreline about custom backspace on their wheel I run , that is doable at no extra charge . I am leery of running the 9" tyre , especially with a bigger motor under way . I have only ever run radials , ET street radial , Radial Pro 275 ( poor result) and the last couple of years the Hoosier 275 radial slick with good success . I also tried a Hoosier 9x30(29.9 tall) but the car wouldn't pull the last 100' or so , only 4.1 gear the possible extra life would be a bonus

Got a set of the 28x9 PBR mounted on 15x7 wheels. 3.54 gear 3,950 Coronet Autozone gas shocks, front rear & sway bars
*****also, I had to lower the front suspension 3/8", I suspect that hitting them too hard, too soon without quality shocks will also cause some spinning............if I had a quality double adjustable shock on the corners I think I could have left the ride height alone****
Lowest 60 foot so far is 1.63 Bracket race the car... had 3 or 4 runs that had a 330 time of 4.71......bunch of 1.64 and one 1.65 sixty
They do need enough of a burnout to see smoke coming from the tires. However, excessive burnout is no where necessary! Six seconds max. Engine RPM in the box above 4,000
Leave @ idle
16 pounds would spin a touch...sidewall wrinkle 17.5 pounds spin almost gone...less wrinkle 18 pounds no spin...virtually no wrinkle
If I recall: 7.30, 7.31, 7.32, 7.31 on one day 11.67, 11.67, 11.68, 11.67 on another day
If the dummy behind the wheel was a seasoned bracket racer the car would be in more semi's.

For me they work better on a descent track. I keep a set of 3754x in the trailer for when we are at an awesome surface cause they are faster than bracket radials. I keep a set of 28x10.5 stiff walls too for a junk track.
One day I will have something cool here.

thanks I tested last Saturday . Sixties were 1.52-1.55 .No different to the Hoosier 275 , very happy . I was only doing a light burnout , I think it needs a bit more . No real pickup on the tyre on return road . Definitely more stable with air pressure , picked up less pressure gain after driving to staging lanes and after a pass . I used a 8 1/2" rim which gave a 9-9 1/2" contact patch . Still showed marking on the edge . I have ordered 10" rims .
