I am sure that this is a subject that has been talked about over and over but with today's technology I was curious if anyone has made any comparison run's to make a decision if there is any advantage to one of the MFG's - Thank's in advance for your input
I run the 9 inch lightweight hoosiers on my GT-TD dakota. Get new ones every other Atco Open, which is two complete seasons. 130-150 plus runs, never an issue. The rim and tire goes up on the wall as the emergency spares/need to go fast set. These are a 10 inch rim. Truck weighs 3500-50 lbs. And I do not do tire conserving burnouts either. If you go this route, the hoosier truck will be at the Epping divisional I think.
