I know I'm opening up a can of worms as far as tire makers. I have a 1972 Dart strictly strip car with a 360 in it. The wheels are 15x7 Auto Drags with 3.25 back space. Not sure which tire to get Hoosier slicks 26x9.0-15 or ET Drags in 26x8.5-15 any in put? Also how much would I lose in gearing going from a 26 inch tire to a 28 inch I currently have 4.10 gears

I'm running 29x10 Hoosiers and it dead hooks every time. I run 3.91 gears and a mild 360.

M/T's will last longer and hook great. That's all I will run after trying Hoosiers for a year.

M/T's all the way!!!!!

M/T's smaller tire and Outlaw 10.5 tires are excellent. Their big tire program is behind the competition imo. You won't see many, if any, Pro Mod/Pro Street cars using M/T's but most of the fast Outlaw cars are running them.

I picked up 60' by switching from Goodyear to M/T. This is a 15X33 tire. If I can ever get the last couple of pieces for my engine we will see how long they last.

Guess I'll stick with the M/T. They call for tubes. But I also hear of guys running them with out what's up with that? I'm already having to dig deep in my pockets for new tires hate to shell out another 125 bucks if I don't need to

They'll go flat in a week or two without tubes. DAMHIK...

M/T with no tubes here. Like stated above try Dawn dish soap, covering the inside of the tire. Let it sit 24 hrs before mounting.

I tried Hoosiers last year and short times seemed to vary a bit, to the extent I replaced my old SS springs and shocks. Went back to the Mickey's for this season and the 60's went right back as well.

Phoenix!! Last a long time and always hook.

Hoosier 1000%

Phoenix...2000%
By far the best tire I have used.

on my junk i got a few more pass on my hoosiers than i did on m/ts, im now running Phoenix, they seem to be alot more consistant and are wearing better than either hoosiers or m/t. ill be sticking with them on my next set as well.

I am using a Hoosier 30 x 9 radial slick and I really like them. I would definetly use tubes if you go with M/T. I have a set of M/T slicks and they wont hold air at all. I mean they go flat in about 30 minutes. My Hoosier hold air as good as a tire with tubes. They held the same pressure all winter without tubes. I do a good burnout and they will hook good for me but of course its only a mid 11 car and most of my racing is T & T or Mopar events as I am not an every weekend racer. I can also tell you I have been driving on the street with the Hoosier radial slicks since April of 2009 and they handle great ! I have raced on them 3 times and put over 2000 street miles on them and they still have plenty of tread on them. I just have to be careful if I get caught in rain. Ron

Mickey Thompson all the way!!!
