Default MT DR's vs Hoosier Daddies

Which would be the best, they are going to be on my SS, with prc 2.5 5.3 heads, ms3 cam, circle d 4c converter and 3.23 gears with basically stock suspension. Its my DD but I only live a mile from work and plan on going to the track atleat once a month so they need to be some what streetable. I was thinking the mickeys but not too sure if they will hold with stock suspension in a car that is making around 550rwhp and 600rwtq. They will be a 275/40/17

I have M/T ET Street Radial's on my last 3 SS's and they work great all around.The Hoosier's are a wrinkle wall and make your car sway @ high speed's but they hook great also.

MT's work, however i have been hearing good things outta the hoosiers!! My buddie has them and loves them, they just don't last as long as the mickeys. Wouldn't wanna drive either set in the rain.
I will prolly try a hoosier next as i am m6 and that sidewall might help a lil being softer.

i have the mts and i loved them. i am only making about 400 at the wheels and have lcas and relocation bracket and they would not stick. the track prep was ok, but you should realy go with a bigger sidewall. Is that 550 on the bottle or motor?

uhh the hossier dr is like the mickey drag radial ....there radials so there much more stable at speed and dont sway . the bias ply mickeys and the hoosier Q.t pro's require tubes to be more stable at speed

I've had both, I'd go with the MTs. They will hook very similar, and the MTs will last you longer and be more stable when turning and if you get caught in a rain somewhere.
