hoosiers work killer in that size range not much burnout needed--side walls stay good--and they last! If your Hoosier letters are turning brown you are burning them too long--I used to hate the MT's--they would work great for 12 hooks then the sidewalls go limp and then they were done--Hoosiers were always my best bet--I think in larger sizes like 14x32 and up GoodYears are hard to beat but smaller--Go Hoosier I burned enough slicks to make my own fishing reef off shore

"..turning brown, you are burning them too long..." Interesting,,my thoughts exactly. I started running the Hoosiers for the first time this year. I noticed my first pass was the best 60' I would get all day. Noticed the white letters getting brown,,cut down on burn out time, seemed to help some. I am also not sure what air pressure they like the best. I have been increasing the air pressure little by little and seeing improvements in 60'. Track closed before I could get any more data. I was at 12# on 29.5X10.5WX15 and gaining. Will start out next season at 13# and go up till I see a change in the wrong direction.

Always ran Firestone before,,Phoneix is supposed to be the EXACT same thing. I will run the Hoosiers in the Spring and see how they do. If I am not happy after some runs in the early Spring, I will go to the Phoneix.

MY home made front suspension limits my travel so unless the track is killer i unload the tires
with 29.5/15w MT's on 10 in wheel was way better with 12 in wheels now i want to go to 12 in tread from 11 in tread
MT's are 93 circ and the hoosers are 92 circ
