It's all I will ever use. If the cost difference is going to beak the bank vs. Hoosiers, or something else, it's time to get out of the sport. Not that big of a difference.

Well if you want to save a buck, get the M/T's, you'll get 2 seasons out of them ,almost like gettin a 2nd set for free. They are that good.

Russ...Won't the radial wear out fast?
Well, when I ran the 30x9 Hoosier radials on the 64 everyone said they would wear out faster too but I got a good 2 years out of them and I was at quite a few events and I was not easy on them for sure . They also hooked everywhere I went with that car so no issues there either. We will see what happens with the bigger radial but that may not be until next year by the time I wear the current M/T's out.

Love em. Thats all I'll ever run. Get over 150 passes on them and my 60 foot never goes away, I ran them till I showed cords and they still hooked.
Exactly what Keith said. My sig pic was pass #2 on the current set. I go through about 2 sets per year, but I run around 300 passes per year and I don't have any mercy on them in the burn out box. I run the 11.5 X 29.5. The last set I pulled off had the cord starting to show and 60' was still 1.391.

Just giving you a hard time Ted...
I'm actually surprised you can get a 31" tire under the car. Someone must have opened up the 1/4's a little in the past? Mike's 64 can only fit a 29.5x10.5W. His is also on a 10" rim.
