Its an A4. I dropped .1 off my best 60 ft with just the tire change at the track and was able to run a couple more PSI. I only ran a best of a high 1.6 with the Hoosiers and ran high 1.5s with the MT's. On the street without a burn out the MTs were better also. I have heard people say the Hoosiers were better, but by my experience they were not, but they were definitely better than BFG's.

Are the Hoosiers as heavy as the MT DR's? My 275/40 MT weigh close to 30#each. I think the MT ET streets weigh like only 20#.

Yeah I heard they were better with stick cars, but they worked pretty good for me and my auto. Plus I think they look a lot better then the MT's.

How tough is the white lettering on the tire? I got mine today and one tire had some of the lettering peel off. I wonder if the things will hold up to bleche-white
