I've got some limitations; here they are.
17.7 absolute max section width. They rub a touch with the 2079 GoodYears I have on there now. 33.6 circ, 106 rollout 15.1 wide, 14 inch rim, semi stiff construction.
Race weight 3,000 lbs. I run a 4.56 gear, trans brake, 2.45 low Torqueflite, loose converter with about 8 percent slip? Mph is 153 ,looking for maybe 155 possible down the road. Max desired rpm, 7500.
What I am looking for is a possibly better tire for overall performance. There is a Hoosier 13.5W x 15 stiff sidewall slick, claims 17.7 section width, but that is about all I see with a decent foot print, narrow enough section width and at least 102 inch rollout. The Hoosier is 5 lbs lighter per tire, and stiff wall construction. Opinions on whether the stiff wall is better are appreciated.
Anybody have other tire suggestions, or experience with the Hoosiers? How do the section widths compare? Any extra section width and I would probably be reselling them, so I need input.
