Default Time for a drag radial...Hoosier or M/t?

Speaking from experience which would be better the Hoosier d.o.t DR or M/T et street DR for a A4? Going with 255/50/16 going on a spare set of stock 5 star wheels and will be used for the track only. The Hoosiers are 7lbs lighter and a hair cheaper per tire than the Mickey's...

All depends on whether you plan on daily driving with them. The Hoosiers, (for me anyway) hook far better then the Mickey's at the track but wear out very quickly on the street. Mickey's will last alot longer for DD.
Even Hoosier gives a warning not to use them on the street.

I've had both, and IMO opinion they both stick equally (1.44 60' on the MT's). If they are going on just a spare set, get the Hoosiers since some people have had better luck with them. You're not losing out either tire you pick.
