Cant help you Randy but I do use 30 x 9 Hoosier radial slicks. They do work nice and I love how well the radial slick handles on the top end. Ron

Always liked my Goodyears on the Cuda. They worked very well and never really went away much over the long term.
I recently made the switch to M/T and we will see what happens with them. So far so good. I did go quicker in the 60' than ever with them, but they are stiff sidewall and my GY's were not. I went to M/T becuase of the deal I got from M/T on the them, not becuase there were any issues with the Goodyears. I still have them with 30 passes on them.

I was curious about the shelf life of Goodyear slicks. The 34 roadster I bought has a set of Goodyear 14.5 x 32's that look almost new but I know they are at least 5 years old. Whatcha guys think? I think I'm going to at least try them.
Not sure about the shelf life. On an earlier car (3200 lbs) the wear-hole meant something. On the last car (2400 lbs) the bite would go away and the wear holes were still very deep. This happened with G-Y, M/T and Hoosiers. The compound was gone before the rubber on the lighter car. Makes me skittish of used ones.

i can only tell you my personal experience. the sig car was purchased new and sat for MANY years because i got involved in racing bikes. then i finished the car ran it with a chevy that broke. then i sat again, i finally built an engine for it and ran it. the tires had to be over ten years old probably closer to 15 so i figured they just HAD to be bad. brought a new set of tires, made absolutely no difference.
