i have 27x11.50x15 hoosier qtp's and they are great. granted im not putting down gobs of horsepower(and the track was prepped for psca)i didnt spin a lick at the track. ussually on dr's, i would scratch them into 4th gear. and on the street they will spin for maybe 20-30 feet and then start gripping hard. i had the psi at 20 on the strip and the street.

Default Need Input (Track and Street) on SportsmanPro & QuickTime DOT's

Anyone running Sportsman Pro tires? If so, what do you think of them? street - track?

How do you think 26x12.5x15 (10" tread) would compare on the track to a 11.5 (9.9") E/T Street? I'm also thinking about the Hoosier QuickTime DOT's (27" tall and 10" tread)

Obviously, I looking around to see if there is truely a tire I can run on the street/highway and hook very well at the track!

Thanks!

I have the QTP 27 x 11.5 x 15

I cut 1.55 with them.. I really like them, and drive them all the time on the street. But, you have to be careful. I got a hole in one of my tires just by driving on a rocky driveway.. Rock punctured the tire. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
