Looks like it is their way of getting a 10 inch tire in stock. We will see if NHRA lets anyone run them or only FS cars.

I'm a bracket racer so, I don't know what the rules are. I would assume with Hoosier molding the 94" Factory Stock under the tire size that they're only for FS.

We'll see if they work for a bracket car.

NOVASSDUDE. That genie is already out of the bottle. I have seen quite
a few Stockers run them in the last 2 seasons. I'm not saying a new rule couldn't be put in place to not accept them, but they have been run quite
extensively for 2 seasons. Keep in mind, Factory Stock Showdown has
9" inch tire rule as well.

Tires are mounted & balanced. At 20 psi the tires measure dead-on 94". I mounted these on a 10' wide rim. We'll see how they work this coming weekend.

Our primary tire is a 29.5x10.5 M/T PBR.

I like the tire so far; they helped me get down to six cars today & a little bit of money.

We have 9 runs on the tires. The first 4 runs woke up the wheelie monster again with having to peddle the car on a few of the runs. The plan for now is to have these tires as a spare set & continue running our primary tires.

1700, how were your 60 ft times compared to your other tires? And ET compared to other tires?

Thanks,

J.R.,

With only 9 passes on the tires & peddling, tripping 60' with back tires & front suspension changes; I'll try & take a wag.

Caveat, this is a bracket car & we have a mild tune-up with boost & EFI for high 8s 1/4 mile & 5.70's 1/8 mile.

Between the 2 different tires there's no noticeable difference between the two. We have gone a best 1.28 on the M/T's & this weekend once we settled in with taming the suspension. We ended up with 1.31x 60's with the Hoosiers. With no noticeable difference in ET's.

Previously, when our car was N/A. When we switched between the M/T's & the Hoosiers (not the FS tires). The car was .5 - .10 quicker with the Hoosiers. The PBR M/T's are a heavy tire.
