Default Re: Traction advice

14lbs. is low for radials but maybe high for bias tires. I don't know about Toyo's but with Hoosiers on some tracks they require using #6 compound to hook. How the track is preped is critical. To know for sure how well the tire is working you need to run on a track that other stockers are showing that they can hook. At the local track it's spotty to get a 9" tire to hook. Some tracks are only worried about a over tired bracket car being able to hook and it's almost impossible to get a well running 9" tired car to hook.
