I like the Hoosier for the stability and ride. The MT is violent at 16psi at about 90 mph and up. I have had them balanced twice and no one can find anything wrong with them. Maybe just got a bad set not sure but up to middle of 4th really nice tire.

Odd on the radials, must be a bum tire or hopefully not something up with the rim. I was out on my 325 50 15's in Real Street Outlaw and it was smooth as glass up to 140mph. If I could get consistant hook out of the radials I'd never go back to a slick. I did notice when going from my old BFGs to the MT's the sidewalls are totally different. I used to run 10-11psi in the BFGs to get them to hook and they'd wrinkle like crazy. The MT's like 15-16psi but they don't wrinkle much at all but I do catch more air with the nose. Hopefully if you decide to get another set when they are worn out you won't have any issues with them.
Congrats again on the 12.90 win! Your car looked great out there.

Next time out I'll have to formally introduce myself.
