Default Hoosier QTP

Need a good tire for a M6 car. I would like to run a stiff wall tire. Do the QTP come with a Stiff wall? thought they did but call two place today and say they dont. So i need a hooking tire for a M6 that is dot. did a search but couldnt find if the QTP can be bought with a stiff wall or is that there drag only. Where is a good place to purchase? Any sponsors on thesed site.

I ran them on my car when it was an M6 and they worked well. I consistently cut low 1.6's with a few 1.5's here and there. I still run them today with the auto because they just seem to hook well and run consistent times with my combo. They are more stable than ET Street bias ply tires. Hoosier does make a stiff wall full slick. See the link and go to the 10.2" width tire section.

The QTP is stiff enough to take the launch of an M6 Fbody. Your only option with Hoosiers having a stiff side wall are the new Drag Radial they have and the Full slick that is 28 x 10.5 x 15.

I was going to say the QTP have to have a decent sidewall to be a DOT tire. I guess i will order those. Thanks Packy

No worries. Like I said they are stiffer than the ET Street and if you really have to have a stiffer sidewall DOT then get the Hoosier Drag Radials. They stick just like the QTP's do and have a stiffer sidewall than the QTP. THe QTP's will work well for you.
