I got more than 40 passes but I can tell how many
passes are on my tires based on the 60' times...
when they are new I get a 1.20 after 20 passes its
1.21 after 40 its 1.23 on the same track but after
that it seems to stay at 1.23 or so

Keith...I haven't raced as much as I use to the past couple of years ...but I would say still 100-150 passes a year...So on three years these tires are close to 400 passes easily...granted the car is #2300 race ready too.

IMO Hoosiers are a Walmart type slick. Soft compound which works fantastic for about 38-40 passes and then little by little 60 foots go away. I believe the sidewall breaks down 1st and then its shot.
Mickey Thompsons and Phoenix seem to last the longest. But what do I know. I only 60 foot 1.21

Sure sounds like you got that car flyin'!!What is your home track??How 'bout a link to some pictures of your car??

You know that M/T and Phoenix work better with your particular combo! Each tire is different and each car is different - weight, gearing, torque, suspension, converter, carb set-up, footbrake/trans brake, track prep, etc. People also run different rim widths and different air pressures. Low air pressure or the wrong tire for the application will kill the sidewall. With so many variables, a broad statement about a whole brand of tire doesn't hold water.

I run my 9" Hoosiers until the wear holes are all but gone. I haven't counted, but runs are well over 100. My 60's have been as good as 1.47 - but that's at 3,550 lbs with a very rule restricted 360. Faster, heavy Stockers are well into the 1.30's with 9" Hoosiers. Just providing examples I'm aware of.

My ride is over 3300 lbs. heavy car and I see my 60 foots going away after 38-40 passes with Hoosiersregardless.
Same car with M/T I got over 180 passes and they still 60 foot the same.I change mine out every year regardless.
1.47 60 foot is that your best or was it 1.42 and then went to 1.47 as time went on?

First off congrats on the new bests. Alwasy good to run a new best on the car. We did the same yesterday, a new best with the stop bolted on the car running it all out. The stop slows the car .2-.25.

I think someone needs to attend a Div or National event and take a look in the Super Class staging lanes. I would say you will find a very large percentage of those cars running Hoosiers. We care more about 60' consistency than most racers do. FWIW I put 120+- passes a year on my junk. But what do I know I only 60' 1.15

In the end it boils down to your particualr combination. I have run Goodyear and M/T on the Cuda. They both have thier pros and cons. What tire is right for YOUR car depends on a lot of factors. I am using M/T 33x15 SS tires currently. They have a bit more roll out than I like but so far so good. Been very consistent especially on the stop. Previously I ran Goodyears for a couple of years and other than my turd of a car beating up the sidewalls they worked fine. BTW on ANY drag tire the sidewalls will go away before the tread wear dots do...
