Default FS: Hoosier Drag Radials 275-40-17s

I have a brand new pair of Hoosier Drag Radials 275-40-17s. I got them in a package deal and have no use for them. They are absolutely brand new , never been mounted. This is a new product from Hoosier, soft sticky rubber. $340.00 plus shipping, located in Orange,Tx about 100 miles east of Houston.
Thanks Floyd

Whoa, I'm here in Beaumont. I might be interested too. Tell me though, can these be mounted on wagon wheel 17" on the rear?

I dont see why not. I'm pretty sure others have done that before. Your welcome to come take a look at them, like I said they are absolutely brand new. They are a newproduct from Hoosier, and are very soft and sticky feeling so they should hook up pretty well.
Thanks Floyd

To be honest with you , I really dont know. They feel a little softer than my Nitto DRs and they just have grooves around the circumference of the tire. Probably not very good on wet roads, I would say more of a track tire in my opinion. I would hate to guess on street diven milage 5000-7000 miles maybe??

those are NOT drag radials!

Those are road racing DOT slicks. If they are AS04 compound, you MIGHT get 500 miles of street driving out of them.. if they are RS04 you MIGHT get 1500 miles. DO NOT drive these in the rain, they are NOT drag radials. I hate to see a seller AND a buyer so misinformed.

YES, they are Drag Radials! It says so on the Hoosier sticker on them and it also says Drag Radial on the sidewall of the tires. This is a very new product from Hoosier, most places dont even stock them yet.

I will post another pic to show that they are Drag Radials. I could be wrong in my guess on street life. It does say for competition only on the sidewall.
Thanks Floyd

Sent you a PM Steve. Send me your shipping info and I will check out the COD shipping charges for overnight. I'm sure it will be fairly expensive though.

Replied to your PM with shipping info. I know it's going to be pricey, but I need them for this weekend.

I placed an order through Jegs.com for M/T drag radials, but they're currently out of stock. I checked other online vendors and it's the same situation. At least 2-3 weeks wait!

Thanks for the quick reply.
