Better tire for a heavy car. ET Drag or Hoosiers?
I am getting ready to order some tires for my car. Assuming that I run the same size 28x10.5x15 tire, which one would work better for a car at 3700# raceweight? I will have the 427 with a 400 and Tbrake and 4.11's. I am leaning towards the Hoosiers only beacuse of the name. I badly want to write "Hoosier Daddy" and make fun of all my slow friends. Whats UP?

I ran both tires on my 3625 lb Formula (10.6s NA). The ET Drags worked better with tubes in them, otherwise they seemed kinda loose past the 1/8 mile and kinda spooked me. The Hoosiers have stiffer sidewalls and felt more stable at high speeds. Traction is the same on either. If I'm buying new slicks, I'll do the Hoosiers again.
