MT, BFG, Nitto?...someone else?

The M/T DR is the best DR I've ever used...You'll get 1.6s out of them ...I 1.55d all last year with them...the small 255 50 R16s on stockers are the best bang for the buck...They measure 26x(almost)10...They may be a bit heavy, but they hook terrific...

I have no doubt that they'll hook, but they're 8 pounds heavier (each) than the hoosiers...at least its not on the nose.
And I thought the moroso ds-2 was the lightest front runner? How much does the goodyear way? Less than 10 pounds?

My sig picture is my 11.51 run with a 1.55 on 255 50 R16s on stockers...This is one instance where it hasn't hurt me to add a lil weight in the rear. Now I have Bogarts and 275 50 R15s and have removed the front sway bar...I haven't been to the track yet, but it almost pulls a wheel on the street...Locally, we've got a 408 N/A powered LS1 car that 1.43s on the same set up as I have...HIGHLY recommend these things!! The really fast guys around here are deep in the 9s with the 325 50 R15s deep in the 1.30s to 60'...And they ride real nice on the street....

hoosiers look to have less radial construction to me.... looks like a qtp. more or less why its lighter.
ive ran my best MPH at the track with those heavy MT radials and best 60ft, even over a 26" slick. these things are getting down.
buddy here local is cutting 1.4's in his lightning on them too.
i hated them at 1st, you really gotta burn um down the 1st few times till they are seasoned.

i have owned both the m/t and hoosiers( witch i have on the car for now )
275/40/17 size ..cut bunches of 1.55 to 1.59 on both tires..the only real difference was that the hoosiers were noticably lighter than the mickeys and if i remember the hoosiers were a little more $
