Re: hoosier quicktimes vs. mt et streets. A 28x11.5" ET Street doesn't even have 10" of tread, so you don't have to worry about the 10.5" tire rule... Generally you're allowed a little more tire if it's a DOT rated tire, anyway.
I doubt you'd see a world of difference between an ET Street and a Hoosier QT Pro of the same size. It's pretty much a matter of personal preference...

Re: hoosier quicktimes vs. mt et streets. Just one more thing... If you're putting these on a 9.75" wheel like you say, the 28x12.50 ET Street would be a better choice than a 28x11.5, but the 28x12.50 is a true 28" tall tire, whereas the 28x11.5 is only ~27.5" tall.

Re: hoosier quicktimes vs. mt et streets. I have been debating on the same thing and have decided to go with 28x11.5x15 Hoosier QTP's. They work well on a 10" rim and are a true 28" tire. The treadwidth is 10" on the Hoosiers, so no worries about the 10.5" tire rule.
I will be using tubes and rim screws, if you don't screw them, the tubes will slip, and you don't wanna pop off a valvestem during a run.
Hopefully these will hold me with 3.73's, 3800 stall, and a 125 shot off the line.
I'll post up results once I get a chance to test.

Re: hoosier quicktimes vs. mt et streets. I'm probably going to have to upgrade my 27x11.5x15 Hoosier QTP's to some 28 QTP's...I will see how the 27's do at the track first w/the new setup..
You usually have to roll the fender lip, and probably need to grind the bump stop to get those to fit...

Re: hoosier quicktimes vs. mt et streets. I just bought some 27x10.5x15's. I didnt even check the tread width. These are definately too narrow for me. Track results friday..........

Re: hoosier quicktimes vs. mt et streets. to get my 28x10.5x15 ET Drags w/ Bogarts to fit we had to pound the inner fender well, cut some of the inside fender along the rear and front of the inside tirewell...
make sure u spray some of that undercoat in the fenderwell where u hit it with hammer...
also u should have adj LCA so u can center the tires in the tirewell... it helps minimize the about of cutting and hammering you have to do to get 28s to fit
