Hoosier Drag radials
I have read posts regardind drag radials. It seems that for a ONLY track use the best are
best: Mickey thompson ET street radial
good: BF Goodrich drag radial
godd but not so good on track but with good life on street: NITTo.
No comments about Hoosiers
I'm searching DR for the track. I'm looking on 315/35/17 and 17332 is the correct number.
Someone using Hoosier drag radials??

Beppe, I have seen several very fast late model F-bodies (9-10 sec) featured in GM Hi Tech Performance with Hoozier DR's. No personal experience, but their drag race slicks work just fine on dragsters. I'd bet a six-pack their DR's are as good as any

$179 This particular one is a 15" wheel. I did not look at other sizes, if any. They also make what they call a "Pro Street Radial" which look an awful lot like M-T ET Street Radials

My first choice was M/T ET street DR.
I'm purchasing from Summit. They have only one in stock !
I need 2 (
)...
I'm afraid to have one tire old (the only one in stock) and the new (ordered from Summit to M/T)new.
So I searched for 315 DR on summit on "in stock" and the Hoosier's are in stock...

One of the problems with the Hoosier DR's is running them in competition...guys have been kicked out of events that allow DOT approved DR's trying to run them...yes, I know they have a DOT number but the event promoter's say they are nothing but slicks with a couple of grooves in them...they are not even rated for the street so how they got a DOT number, who knows...
I run a lot of DOT tire events so I will not even try them...I also don't know of one person running them and this may have something to do with it...

Someone has street tire with 500hp cars, someone Sliks on 190 HP car, someone with M/T ET streets bias ply...
there is no policy about tires... only people that uses an old airport to do drag racing.
So i'm searching tires only for the track... not for the trip from and to the track.
I was searching some info on these radial tires ...
If you say they are Slicks with a couple of grooves in them, probabbly they are very good for my use. ... and probably even better than the M/T DR ET streets.

Hoosiers are good tires too, not my personal exp but saw at track all the time usually all those 9-10 sec cars use em, but why not MT those are excellent tires for the money, b/c hoosiers are little bit expensive than MT with almost same performance, is iam right? sami

Goodyear is making a DR now as well, but I haven't heard much about them.
Just to give you a couple more options
