I just ordered mine from Jegs. No one in the area carried M&H.
Smiley's in Kennedale carries Hoosier and Gearheads in Arlington can order MT. When I was looking at MT radials they had the best price locally that I found.

No. The Bias ET Streets have a harder compound than their radials and slicks. I couldn't hook very well with them. I think the Hoosiers are softer but don't quote me on it. If you're wanting a tire like that check out the M&H cheater slicks. I have them in 26x16x11. They hook well enough that I went .2 sec quicker in my first and only time out with them than I could get with several outings on the ET Streets.

well im needing something that will get me to hook. spraying out of the hole in a truck w/ mt et street radials werent hookin to well, but on motor did excelent...
I dont know what the details are in running a street class but i would like a tire that hooks well and if i do decide to race a a specific class i can. I would like to hear both recogmendations and experiences with them. Dot Slick and Full Slicks!
Whatever tires i decide on getting will not be drivin on the street i need them to last longer than my last set lol..

This is all that summits got in the area that im looking for, I have my eye on the hoosier quick time pros but idk how well they hook. Im also looking for something i dont have to run a tube in. Ill do whatever it takes though.

I've seen the Hoosier DR's hook pretty well. The QTPs are supposed to be pretty soft, but I don't have any first hand experience with them.
