I never said "ask them who is best", simply for the comparison data.

My reason for above listed information is that if they can hook upwards of 2000hp and cut 60' in the high teen to mid 1.20, then our weak street cars should have no problems working,

 

Another for MT DRs. 3625 lbs. before my 250 lbs., through manifolds, lid, stall, 3.23s, and catback was 1.65 60'.

JMHO.

 

And I never said that they weren't a great tire. But there's a reason that indepent testing firms are out there. Manufacturers can and often do skew testing in their favor.
I just have issue with folks who say that X product is to quote: ''Hands down, the #1 on the market'' without testing/trying the other products.

I know for a fact that the Hoosier DR works flawlessly for me and I run on street tire night.
Now I'm trying the ET DRs and by the end of the season I'll be able to say how they stackup.

 

I looked for the MT Radials, no one has them in stock, & most have a huge waiting list once they come, but MT keeps pushing the date further ahead, so i ordered a pair of Hoosiers from Mccormack Racing for 378.00 shipped.

 

I'm sure i'll love them, especially @ my HP level (under 300), you will really like the MTs too, i had them on my Truck, they freakin hooked, i was told by 2 seperate vendors that sell them all & they said the Hoosier is Just as good as the Mickies if not better, i tend to believe this because we all know that the QTPs or just as good (if not better) then the ET streets, thats been proven. I've been hooked on the MTs, i never even knew Hoosier made a DR, i was , so i'm sure they will catch on in time & be a hot ticket like the MTs.

 

You can have issues all you want. Until you start cutting some real 60's tires don't make a real difference to you.
Actually, I have ran ET Streets, Nitto's, and the BFG's. So I do my own testing. The BFG's are horrible on the track, but slightly hook on the street. All depends what you want. My buddy in a terminator had such bad wheelhop with hoosiers that it snapped a halfshaft. In the end, it's your car and you'll have to learn the hard way instead of listening to people that have been there.

 

The BFG DRs I had weren't as good as the MT DRs on the track. The MTs scare me on the street for handling so I won't drive around with them on, whereas the BFGs were quite a bit better for driving around and got good traction on a launch - in the rain, the BFGs were a nightmare.

 

So what you're saying is that 1.45 to 1.50 sixties aren't real, ok, my bad, I thought my sixties were pretty good.
If you actutally read my posts then you'd know that I've done all my own testing too
And since when is wheelhop a tire problem? Wheelhop is a suspension problem so don't be blaming the Hoosiers.
It's pretty funny when you touchy arragant types get all looking down your nose at someone witht a slower car when someone questions your statements of fact. You'd rather bad mouth me and my car than point me to some factual testing that proves your statement.

 

Now who's being touchy?

Wheelhop can be as much fault of the ultra stiff sidewall of the Hoosiers as it can suspension. I cut 1.3's with the back tires on my ET DR's. How's that for proof? I'm not trying to bad mouth ou there mr. " I hate when people say #1 hands down" People say they are #1 because it's a fact.

 

I will find out friday night how good or bad these Hoosiers are, because i was having bad hop with the street tires (Cooper Zions) once i installed the 4.11s & lowered the control arms, but this was ONLY at the track, not on the road, i do know from past esperiance the MT DRs worked great & are one hell of a tire, i was told i needed a stiffer sidewall anyways with a stick car, we shall see, i'll post results.

 

But it's not a fact, it's your opinion. There just might be a tire out there that's just as good that you haven't tried. Then they would tied for #1.

 

Start at about 23psi in them and work down if you need to. They worked great for me at 21.5 hot.

 

How about some rear shocks? They are most likely the most important part of the rear suspension.
