Hoosier Drag Radial
 

Thinking about putting some Hoosier Drag Radials 30 x 15 x 9 on my car and want to know which one to put on my car. The CO7 or the CO6 Thanks

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

There is no 8" radial. I can tell you that off my truck I sell 85% 30/9-15R C06. Hope this helps

Thanks, How long do the CO6 last

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

I'm sorry to say that I've never sat down and took a count. It may more than a season for me and I run a few local association and bracket events. But I was told that the harder C07 lasts longer than the softer C06 lightweight radials. Don't know if that's due to being harder and/or the amount of rubber on the tires.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

I like the CO7 tire, but I'm a bracket racer and not looking for every .01 I can get in ET. My belief is that the 'lightweight' is due to less usable 'meat' on the tire, but maybe the Hoosier guy who posted above can confirm that.

I don't have a run count either, but I'd guess 150 runs is close. I don't use the line-lock during the burnout. Get the tires spinning in Low, shift to High around 5500 and drive it out just a bit.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

I have used both the C07 and the C06 tires. I really don't see a downside to the lightweight tire, its a bit lighter of course, so its a bit quicker. But I got just about the same life out of each one. Great choice of tire IMO.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

I personally know that when Mike Beard's Volare was a Stocker he would change tires when the cord showed! He always said they hooked the same until then. I have run mine over 80 runs with plenty left. I run the 06 tire and have run the 07 tire but I saw n difference. Jim

We started running the 9x30 C06 Hoosier Radial Slicks this year. We have a high 9 low 10 sec. bracket car. We have 80 runs on them. The depth holes were.140-.150 deep when new & are .110-.120 deep now. We are going to start the new year on them. Note: We do a very slow & short burnout, a 2 one thousand count @ 4500 rpm in high gear with a glide.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

Longevity will depend on burnout style and how much power you are putting to the ground. We have had good success with the Hoosiers.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

Can't go wrong with a 4457 Goodyear.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

That was the M/T 3066R 30x9 radial. 110 runs like clockwork. Been to 116 before (1.40 60' on cords), but obviously they're hit and miss on cords. ;)

M/T released the Pro Bracket Radial this year. They're heavier, but they have a lot more meat on them, and they're still fast. Matt Obertanec won everything under the sun this year in a mid 10-sec AMC Spirit running their 28x10.5" PBR, and it is a ridiculous ticket-printing machine. (been on the wrong side of him myself a couple times this year!) He put 300 runs on a set before taking them off. :eek: I'm looking into the 29.5x10.5 M/T Pro Bracket Radial for the Volare. I think it'll LOVE them.

Here are the sizes available: http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...=BracketRadial

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

Well I need a set of tires right now. I want 4457 Goodyears, but I M concerned about service in Division Two since Competition Tires lost the Goodyear deal and closed. Does anybody have any insight into how we can get tires?

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

I always call Chris Barker, but there are many other dealers that would love your business.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

Sorry Mr. Beard. I don't know why I thought you had Hoosiers on that car! Jim

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

Nope! Very first set of slicks as a teenager were Mickeys, and I never looked back. :p

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

Are the radials good on the high HP cars? like GT/AA ?any gain or just life span? Heavy 3610 lb with 810 plus HP.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

We run the standard 10.5 tire on our white CJ SS that weighs over 3500 with me in it and have had great success with them. Short burnout and hooks no matter what.

Re: Hoosier Drag Radial
 

IS there an ET Advantage using the Radial over the Bias Ply?

Two tenths with my car. Lights are much faster too.
