>> because this thing crushes the tire on the line.

Try more air pressure as well... I've run into spinning problems by having tires too low, just as much as by having too much in them! I have run as much as 27psi in an M/T 9x28" BIAS PLY, on my Duster! Granted, that car has no gear and converter, but still, don't be afraid to at least experiment with higher air pressure, even in a bias ply. I've had the 9x28 bias plys on Terry's Dart Sport up to 20psi as well.

>> The only thing pushing me away from M/T is the price, because we get a pretty good deal on Hoosiers.

If they last longer and work better, don't they pay for themselves?
