28x9 - et drag or hooser? anyone ever run these tires and compared the two? i have run et drags which are 27.3" and am thinking of the hooser that is a full 28" tall. which would hook better? i go 1.47-1.49 on m/t radials and am looking to really hammer these things out of the hole with my auto car on spray. thanks!

usually especially an auto car.I haven't run mickies in a while. I used to have a bit of a problem with rollout between tires when they were new...I would allway have to stretch one abit to get the roll out the same for both tires. Is that still an issue with the Mickies?

I am currently running the 28 X 9 ET Drags, but I find that the rpm range was a little different on the engine than when I was running the 28 X 10's. I then found out the were nearly an inch shorter than the 28 x 10's. I find that the M/T's have good longevity and have always worked fairly well for me.

The m/t's haven't had any roll out issues for me ,but some people I know have had that problem.

The tire with a larger diameter or circumference will travel a greater distance per revolution.
This can be corrected by airing up the short tire to a pressure that will stretch it to the same(or slightly larger) circumference as the larger tire. Let it set a while and air it down to running pressure and it should hold its size.
Roll out is also used to measure how far a tire will travel from the staged position to the point that it breaks the beams.

or you can just call it circumference, M/T tires are pretty bad with it. Last two sets were over an inch off from each other and I could never get them the same size, even with 45psi laying in the sun all day on the 'small' one. Eventually you will see one wears down faster then the other. If you have a dealer where you can mount them and measure them that has some stock you can find two that are close.
Hoosier airs their tires up and writes the measument on the tire so you (or the warehouse/store sending them to you) can pick a pair that are close without having to mount them on your own wheels which is kinda nice.
