Default Hoosier slick 26x9x15 how do they perform?

Well i have come to the conclusion that my 26x10.5x15 ET Street are not holding the launches like they used to. Only way i can get it to cut low 1.6 to high 1.5 60fts. on them is for the track to be prep extremely well. Now i need a wider tire and sticky as well. I don't want to go to the 26x10 ET Drags becuase they are too big and will cause me to lose my top end with swelling on a 8in rim and i have found that the hoosier drag fits the size i want but i need to know if they HOOK? How do you like them?

Run the 26x10x15 hoosier slicks. I really like them.

I'm also in the process of getting some Hoosier slicks. My ET Streets have no more rubber. Still trying to decide what size I wanna go with. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I'm running the Hoosier 26x9x15 slick, and it hooks GREAT! I also run the adjustable Hal struts, and it makes for a great track combo. I managed a 1.61 60' at Texas Motorplex on a T&T night, and I consider that pretty good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> My 60' times were in the 1.61-1.65 range, on average, throughout the night w/ the raceweight posted below. Like you, I didn't want to give up MPH from tire swelling. I think they'll work well with your setup.
