Why do hoosiers have 1" more tread on ground for same size than M/T? Kinda odd but ive been looking at hoosier vs mickey thompson.
I have 28x13.5 ET Streets on my car right now. The section (sidewall) width is about 13.1-13.2 and about 11" on the ground.
Hoosier 28x14.5 Quicktime pro's are 13.2 section width with 12.0" on the ground.
So that means less sidewall bulge right?? Would that make them hook worse than a m/t because of that?? Because i can fit another 1" of tire on the ground by going to a hoosier.

I've run both Hoosier and MT, both pull my wheels so I like em both either way.
I am running the MT's now because my local speed shop sells 29.5x10.5-15 ET Drags for $169.00 each brand new! Jegs has them for $195.00 each.
