Hoosiers Or Mickeys
 
I Need New Slicks For Next Year And I Was Thinking About Some Mickeys My Old Slicks Were Hoosier 32-13.5w-15 They Did Not Impress Me At All Now Granted They Were On The Car When I Bought It Rolling So I Do Not Know How Old They Were But They Looked Preety New These Hoosier Came With The Stiff Side Wall So I Was Thinking About The Mickeys 32-14-15 Stiff Or Super Stiff I Dont Kno Which One Will Work The Best
A Liitle About The Car Its A 67 Back Half Ladder Bar Camaro With A Small Block That Leaves On A Brake Chipped At 3400 Rpm Going Mid To Low 1.3s 60 Ft On The Backtires About 2-3 Feet In The Air

By The Way 14x32 Is Max Tire Size All The Way Around I Do Not Have Any More Room Anywhere

I have run Goodyears,Mickeys,and Hoosiers on our 4200# wagon .
the Goodyears and the Hoosiers,both hook well , but the Hoosiers last longer.
I will never run MTs again. i got less than one season , and it would rotate them off the line unpredicably.

Mickey Thompson tires pretty much dominate the outlaw racing and bracket racing market for a reason. Hoosiers pretty well seem to have the market on Stock and Superstock racing. We sell both and have had about equal results with either depending upon application and chassis setup. We sell Mickey's 2 to 1 over Hoosier.

Bracket racers bought Mt in the past because of price. Now they buy them because they always used them in the past. If they ever switch to Hoosier they genearally don't go back.

I use the Mickeys on the stick car and use the hoosier radials on the automatic car. I might try a Hoosier on the Nova next year.
