Hoosier Drag Radials???
Anybody had any luck with these or know of anyone using these?
Wondering how they would compare to the MT dr's on a "stock" suspension, mid-5 second setup. |

Re: Hoosier Drag Radials???
my personal experience is that the MT is a better tire.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radials???
I have never used them but a friend of mine has here is a vid of his car. He is running the 275's in this vid.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radials???
They are decent, but I don't think they are as consistent as the M/T's.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radials???
I'm not sure about the consistency but the Hoosier's hooked better over the M/T's....

Re: Hoosier Drag Radials???
how heavy is your car? a friend had em on his car but the sidewalls didnt seem to last long, the mts have proven to be more consistant on his stock suspension 65 gto, his car close to 3800 with fat driver...

Re: Hoosier Drag Radials???
I have not tried the Mickey's, I have a set of 325-40-18 M&H DR's, cut a 1.51 60ft and ran 9.50 at 150 on those. Spinning
Bolted on the Hoosier 325-50-15 DR's and went a best of 1.33 60ft and 8.84 with a 5.63 at 127 in the 1/8th. As seen here.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radials???
We've actually done a run after run test of the Hoosier 275 60 and the MT 275 60 on Eric Kenwards Radial Malibu wagon down at Immokalee during the last race there a month ago. 1st run on the MT 275 60's and it spun, he pedaled it and went 5.5x in the 1/8 with a 1.36 60 ft. Didn't change a thing and swapped on the Hoosiers and he went 5.4x in the 1/8 with a 1.29 60 ft. (about 30 minutes after his previous run, so all things were constant), had to pedal briefly but the Hoosiers recovered much better than the MT's. Conclusion... I think the Hoosiers are better on a marginal track surface where I think the MT's might be better on a top notch well prepped track surface. Also... the Hoosiers are about 9 lbs. per tire lighter than the Mickey. Not sure on life of the tire yet, right now we've got about 15 runs on the Hoosiers and they're holding up fine.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radials???
Back to back testing on a hot track with lots of sun.... M/T's were night and day better for me.
