MT Pro Bracket Radials , 28x10.5R15 Just got my second set , 18 months racing well over 110 passes last set . Very happy with results . Good shocks and different set up needed when swapping from rag slicks . Also don't forget they do not grow . I have also run ET street radials(275/60) , 275 Pro's and Hoosier 275 radials . Pro bracket hands down better . Especially life span . Very consistent .

I just made the switch two weeks ago from a Hoosier Quick Time Pro to a Hoosier Drag radial 295/95 -15 on the recommendation of several friends. So far I only have about 12 runs on them but I like them as i can run more air pressure and they don`t need a big burnout. My 60 ft got a little lower maybe 1 or 2 hundreds but I also did a gear change from 4.10s to 4.30s. These runs have been in the heat as its been pretty hot the last few race days I am looking forward to see how they work in the cool, fall air, my 60fts have been consistent so far.

I run the 30x10.5 Hoosier radial slick. In my tank I've 60 foot 1.37 at 4100 lbs with 20 PSI in them. I'll never go back to bias. At the top of the track they are nice and stable too. Here is a slow motion video launch. 71 Charger launch
1971 Plum Crazy Super Bee. 572 World Aluminum block with a Cope 727 & Dana 4.10 out back. 9.88 @ 138 with a 1.35 60 NA. Dialed back to 10.0’s. 4000 lbs with me in it.

Never run them myself, but I agree w/ the others...the M/T Pro Bracket Radial is what I'd run if I had the choice.

I have ran the 295/65 x 15 for over 8 years. car weigh 3600 lbs with me in it. 19 lbs. best 60' 1.40, Very good on a prep track, not worth a fluff on a poorly prepped track. I would check to see if other people are running radials on the track you race on and go from there.

I have run both my and Hoosier. For your car best tire is the Hoosier 295 the new one I think it's ds2. It is Hoosiers version of the mt pro. An 11 sec or even 10 sec car should not need "radial prep" track to use these tires. My buddy's nova has the new Hoosier 295's on it and it runs 9.50's all the time. Get the Hoosiers they are way better on non prepped tracks.
