Sticky tire poll...which do you perfer? Thinking about investing in a set of Slicks for the Spring (race season is over down here). I've been running 26x11.5x15 ETstreets. Let's see everyone's preference... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Sticky tire poll...which do you perfer? I have run all the name brands slicks this racing season.(6 sets in all) M/T, Goodyear, and Hoosier.
In a M6 Hot Rod the Hoosiers do not work very well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
The Goodyears work great and look really cool, just cost a little more. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
The M/T work great on my M6 Hot Rod. For the money and longevity of the tire you can't go wrong with the M/T slicks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Just make sure that if you have a M6. You order a set of slicks for a six speed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: Sticky tire poll...which do you perfer? on third set of m/t 26 x 11.5 x 15 et streets, usually get 150-170 passes from each set, and just recorded a 1.58 60 foot time on juice. No reason to switch here!

Re: Sticky tire poll...which do you perfer? I had 28 x 10.5 x 15 MT ET Drags on my 2400#(with me in it) Mustang. They not hold traction. Swithced to 28 x 10 x 15 Hoosiers and they held like glue the next week. This was a pretty good test as no other changes were made at the time. My suspension was not right for either but does give a comparison. I was able to pull 1.4? 60's with the Hoosier's at the time.

Re: Sticky tire poll...which do you perfer? I was happy with the Hoosier QTP's I ran, though since my car wasn't done till almost the end of the season I didn't use them much <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> The didn't slip dropping the clutch at 6500 rpms with 4.56 gears <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Though I am going to try some ET Streets come spring that are 26" instead of my 28"'s.
