I have tons of experience with the DS2's. I really like the design that squats when throw a load to it. Gives you more braking traction at the stripe. I have run mine at crazy tire pressures that most wouldn't dream of with the tires 3 feet in the air. No issues. Bought a new set last year after 7 seasons on the last set.  Thats well over 1500 runs.

No problems with the Hoosier front runners..they drove nice, and was stable with violent launches and wheel stands. I have already purchased M/T Sportsman Front runners for the 65 though.

I've had good luck with the DS2's. Currently though, the car has a taller set of Toyo's. http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/proxes-drag-slick The price was good, and the local Les Schwab tire store can get them in a day. After a season on them, there hasn't been any issues. They are a plain blackwall tire, so no worries about vintage iron sporting a big "Toyo" logo. -Tom.

I need to buy a new set of front runners, 26" dia. I have run Hoosier in the past and almost destroyed my car with only 4 passes on a new pair. Went MT and they were very stable at speed. I will likely go back with the MT, but the Moroso DS2 is intriguing to me. Anyone have expereince with this tire? Good or Bad?
I've had no problem with the Moroso DS2s @ 136+ mph. 67' Valiant e/w 499" RB.

I am 100% sure you used to run the Moroso drag specials before turning to Goodyear.

All I've ever run are Hoosier's... no complaints
This is what I've been running for 3 years now, very
good wear or should I say lack of wear , I
have also run Moroso and they wore fairly quick
