ET Drags or Hoosier???? 3055 28/10.5-15 M5 compound ET Drags
18150 28/10.0-15 D06 compound Hoosier slicks
Well, my 28/12.50-15 ET Streets are showing the bands now, so I need a new pair. The car sees little to no street use (the cops are cool around here, and would have a better reason to pull me over than for slicks...lol). Just wondering what other people have used and liked. Car couldn't hook on the ET Streets, but I didn't get to play with suspension that much. And the price of the Hoosiers are pretty good ~150, ET Drags ~160, ET Streets ~170. Dunno, who has tried what and what 60' were you running? Thanks.

The W's definitely need a 10" rim, the others don't have to, but prefer that width rim. Good luck. Take care. Dave

Thanks. I probably have room for the 3055W's, might have to massage (aka beat) alittle more. Was doing alittle more research and here's the tires I'm looking at now.
Hoosier 18150 28/10-15, 10"tread, 11.7 section, D06 compound, 22 weight, $156
ET Drag 3055 28/10.5-15, 10" tread, 11.7 section, M5 compound, 23 weight, $160
ET Drag 3055W 28/10.5-15, 10.9" tread, 13.1 section, M5 compound, 26 weight, $195
ET Drag 3057 28/11.5-15, 11" tread, 12.9 section, M5 compound, 26 weight, $190
Also, these are going on 10" wide draglites. I've done alot to the innerfender to get the 28/12.5-15 ET Streets to fit, section on them show to be 12.6". Surely I could get the 3055W's to fit, but the 3057's are cheaper, same weight, same tread, narrower section, and same compound. Might go with those. But still kicking around the Hoosiers, if I can get my suspension setup right.... Anybody have anymore info or experience with any of these? I greatly appreciate any input you offer, thanks again.

That's pretty impressive. I'm just not sure if I can get my car setup good enough. It's hard to get people to tell others how their car is setup after all the hours of work they've done on it.....lol. I managed to cut 1.43's on a 26/10.0-15 hoosier slicks, SI, with PT4000 and 4:30's. Hoping for a 1.40 or better this year. Just the suspension is kicking my @ss. Thanks for the input.

.
used both, my size was 29 X 10, so a touch bigger.
Hoosier worked better and lasted longer.
I was also learning more & more about my double adj shocks,
so maybe it was a learning issue.
Good luck with the M/T, hope u do great.

From what I have been told get the car on level ground and take the measurement of the Driveshaft and the bottom plate of the TQ and subtract the 2. I think you should shoot for around -3, but it depends from car to car??
Btw I ordered a New GM LT4 starter I think that will fix the problem

Well, I would if I knew my suspension was good enough to make them stick. Just looking for a tire to be alittle more forgiving right now until I learn more. I would LOVE to beable to hook on some ET Radials, but, right now, I don't see that happening. Yea, mine was at like +2-3 too. Hopefully this next outing at Memphis, will be alittle better...

Like I said, I'm sure I could with proper suspension setup, but I'm still learning what works best. I'm not hooking on MT ET Streets, 28/12.50-15's right now. I spin them pretty good. PSI is usually around 15. And I do a good burnout. Just wanting a tire to go play in Memphis next week. It's a cam-only LQ9 6.0 ltr w/ MS3, 4400, spooled 4:30's. Car's weight somewhere around 3200 probably. Not sure what kind of short time is possible, but hoping for low 1:40's. Thanks.

From what I have seen M/T drag radials are very unforgiving once you start spinning its over on that pass. Also Madman has been messing with a 325/50/15 combo and he has found that the M/T actually like Tire pressure (like 20 lbs of pressure).
