M/T's will last longer and hook great. That's all I will run after trying Hoosiers for a year.

I picked up 60' by switching from Goodyear to M/T. This is a 15X33 tire. If I can ever get the last couple of pieces for my engine we will see how long they last.

Guess I'll stick with the M/T. They call for tubes. But I also hear of guys running them with out what's up with that? I'm already having to dig deep in my pockets for new tires hate to shell out another 125 bucks if I don't need to

I am using a Hoosier 30 x 9 radial slick and I really like them. I would definetly use tubes if you go with M/T. I have a set of M/T slicks and they wont hold air at all. I mean they go flat in about 30 minutes. My Hoosier hold air as good as a tire with tubes. They held the same pressure all winter without tubes. I do a good burnout and they will hook good for me but of course its only a mid 11 car and most of my racing is T & T or Mopar events as I am not an every weekend racer. I can also tell you I have been driving on the street with the Hoosier radial slicks since April of 2009 and they handle great ! I have raced on them 3 times and put over 2000 street miles on them and they still have plenty of tread on them. I just have to be careful if I get caught in rain. Ron
