Tire Thoughts?
 

I'm looking for some thoughts and opinions on a rear tire:

I have a super street tube chassis car with a 15x15 wheel, and currently run a 33x15 Hoosier. I've been running about 8psi.

Another catch...to make s/st weight i have to hang about 300lbs of ballast in the trunk. I seem to kill the sidewalls after about 60 runs. I feel I should get more runs out of a set of tires.
Any suggestions on a particular brand/compound that would work good for me?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

I ran a 64 Nova with 29 x 10.5 Hoosiers, the car weighted 3050 with driver..
Yes a big driver hahahah Any way, i had a problem with inconsistent 60' times. I was told to run tubes, it helped bunches. I would get over 80 passes on my tires.

Tubes could be worth a try.

Put some Mickeys on er and pump em up!

Re: Tire Thoughts?
 

I'm not against running Mickeys at all. I run them on one of my small tire cars and they work great. What compound and tire preasure have you found work the best?

Does this mean we can start back on Lee :D
