Hoosier now has a 315-35-17 drag radial. I'm looking for something to keep a ~ 500 rwhp car planted as well as possible.

MT was supposed to come out with a 315, but right now all I can find is the MT 275-40-17 ET street radial.

I am not concerned about wear at all. This will strictly be a Saturday night/fun car. It will be garage kept, never seeing rain, snow, etc. I want maximum dry weather traction with decent road manners. I'm looking for hook on the street and strip. I like the looks of the 315s, it will look very aggressive on the car. Is the Hoosier 315 my best bet....raceweight should be in the 3450 range....

Its a very good tire, Lighter than the MT and hooks as good or better.

After having run nittos exclusively since '99 I was anxious to try it as a new tire. Unfortunatly funds would only allow for the BFG so I guess we'll try those first. Otherwise I have heard nothing bad about the Hoosiers. It seems a lot more mustangs run them than Fbody guys. SVTperformance has a few guys that run them.

I wanted M/T's but got tired of the lies. I have Goodyear SS drag radials on backorder from Summit (315/35/17), they are supposed to be in at the end of Jan..

Might want to cancel the order and get the Hoosiers! A guy posted up on here one time on how the new Goodyears sucked. A search will find it.

BTW what lies have you been told about the MT Drag Radials.

For years they keep saying this size will come out in a few months (they will give you the month). When that time comes and there are no tires if you e-mail them they will give you a new date a few months down the road, and so on and so on.
