I like both Hoosier and M/T radials, IMO not much difference between the 2..
I run the 30x9x15 radial slick, 4.56 gears with my little LS1 347 and run 10.teens @ 132 mph with 1.31 to 1.33 60 fts. Now, during the summer months we stwich to a 29x10.5x15 regular slick and run 10.30's @ 130 with 1.38 to 1.41 60 fts.

scroll down to drag tires, I use # 18214 but I suggest you try # 18209 which is probably the same one Coach uses.

The weight can play a huge factor. For example a mt street radial is about 35 lbs in a 295/65/15, whereas a Hoosier drag dot is 27. Now move up to a radial slick and you can find them from both manUfacturers in a 29-30" tire that weigh 22-23 lbs. I'll have some hard #'s next week, as I'm switching from the hoosier 295's to the mt radial slick in a 29.5/9.0.

so you switch it up to make up for the slick track Coach?

In the summer when the track temp is up to 160 degree temps I have to go to the the regular slick to hook up. The radials will not hook up on the hot tracks that we run at.
