Got me a set of Hoosier Drag Radials to try this year!
 

Figured I'd try these since everyone is using the Mt's, I wanted to be different. That will be my next tire unless these are great. They look like they should stick. Yes they are 15's and yes I am running the 03 Mach but as some of you know I am switching to Centerline Convo Pros all around so that is why the 15's. :) I like the white lettering , should look retro (old school) on the Mach. :tup What ya think, comments?

Very Sticky tire...dont get caught in the rain or you will be dead.
Guys didnt get many passes out of them last yr but incredibly sticky..

are you using them as track use only?
Also lots of complaints about picking up stuff with them due to the stickiness.
I would love to try a set myself...but I bought a new set of M/T's in the fall.

Bet you cant wait now...lol

I am mainly going to use them at the track and may drive on them for a bit. Would not attempt to take in the rain. :) I am getting a bit fidgity lol but can wait. :) Thanks for the info Eric. :tup

Does the sidewall seem fairly flexible on the Hoosiers? The reason I ask, I went from M/T bias E-T Streets to the radial version, to be eligible for a specific street class at the Super Coupe Shootout. But the 5-speed car doesn't like the stiffer sidewalls ... the bias M/Ts were the bomb.

Anyone know how the sidewall stiffness on the Hoosier radials compares to the M/T radials?

The sidewall on these is very flexible. Should wrinkle for my app and could provide the needed flex for roading it. If you look at the 2nd to last pic the sidewall is caved in and is very flexible. It is a very soft and plyable tire.

Contact "Ron McKay" Hoosier Tire Canada at 905-685-3184 he will fill you in n the specs of their Road race tires. good luck

saw those at Speedorama...very nice :tup

Thanks for the info. I had already priced the Hoosiers from Ron a few weeks ago. Stupid me didn't take a good look at them when we were at Speedorama. :rolleyes: I'll have to see if I can get a taker for my M/Ts, and give the Hoosiers a shot maybe.

Road race Hoosiers for doing open-track events, I get good used ones for free usually. :chacha:

I had heard about them and than like you saw them at the car show. Phoned him 3 days later and bought a set. Killer price also. :tup

Like mentioned I know that the Mickey Thompsons hook, so I thought I would try these and if they are not hooking I can also go with the MT's. Someone has to go first! :)

Make sure you let us know how they work!!! I have until the end of September to change them for the 2006 SC Shootout. :)

cheers

Right on, will do! Goodluck this year at the track. :tup
