Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
 

A lot of cars built in the late '70's and into the '80's that were built around a tire like the 12.2x31.25 or the older 14x32's are running the Hoosier 31.5x12.5 DO5 tire.
It's a stiff sidewall tire.

Check the website for the size info.

I also take it ,No Tubes !

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
 

Definatly tubeless.
Saves at least 12-14 pounds of rotating mass.

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
 

Don't be afraid to try a narrower Hoosier if that's all they make. The traction is better.

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
 

yea my car was put together in the mid 80s,not afraid to go to a smaller tire if traction is better,not really to much issues with the good years,they do have tubes in them,i put 2 sets on the car since I own it,

Sorry forgot about Mickey T.:o

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
 

Hoosiers, I usually get ~125-150 passes on my S/C dragster then the 60' times become inconsistent.

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
 

Neither
Mickey Thompson ALL the way, I used to have Hoosiers on my dragster, and I made the switch to M/T my car got WAAAYYY more consistent. Then my father had switched from Goodyears on his Vega, and got a set of M/T on the car, first race, was in the finals. I will give you one good reason why M/T are superior, if you wanted to go in the 7s with a 10.5 radial tire, which tire brand would you choose? (EVERYONE runs a M/T) and you want to run on the stop with a 14x32 or a 16x33....Mickey Thompson all the way.

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
 

I agree made the switch 5 years ago and will never go back to Hoosiers or Goodyear... unless I got them free!!!!!!!
