I think they are talking 9" Stocker tires. My car's weight, etc, is not real different from yours. I have run all three. 13" X 31" radials. MT have been fastest on mine. Tested all three, same day. Goodyear hooked just as hard, but we're a consistent .04 slower, most of it in 330'. I attributed that to the Goodyears being 5lbs each heavier. 5 lbs on a 31" circle makes more difference than on something like a crankshaft. These MTs never go away. I run them until no wear holes, or I start to feel guilty about their age. LOL
