They are fast, stable to drive on, don't leak air ever, true tubeless, sidewalls last better, no growth, slim section width profile, no need for rim screws,...etc.

They work fine on my ride, Stock legal rear suspension, 3400-3600 two-step and 5250 stall coming off. Only 3250 lbs. or so, but 1.37 to 1.40's anywhere, anytime. Oh yeah, Atlas non-gas charged replacement shocks on the rear, and Stocker Stars on the front.

I like Goodyears, but that is for the compound selections, a Hoosier may be faster for some, on some tracks, but I bracket race.
