I have ran Mickey Thompson tires on my race car for 30 years. The tire I have ran for the last 15 years plus, is their 3064, 29.50 x 11.50-15. They have "paused production" of this size and recommend their 3062W, a 29.50 x 10.50-15, but those are not available at this time either. The closest tire that I think will work for me is the Hoosier 18190D06 tire. Has anyone else had to do this and what were your results? MT's require tubes, Hoosiers not required, but can run them. What about air pressure differences? I've found that on my heavy car, that the MT's needed about 13.25 lb.'s of air. I would guess that would be a good place to start w/ Hoosiers? Any real world insite will be appreciated.
Thanks, Brian

For what its worth its little cousin the 3062S we have been 1.09 60' on. Yes they have stopped production on a number of tires. The issue is two folks, a shortage of materials as well as the purchase by Goodyear. The material shortage is also affecting Hoosier as they have beenlimiting circle track guys most the year.
