Thank you 1700 Camaro "Re: Hoosier drag radial vs bracket radial"
Larry and I are good friends and we have been talking about this subject a while.
I had actually suggested the 31.5 X 13.5r in our last conversation a few weeks ago.
1320 thanks for your coment about the Hoosiers
Larry also ask "Question: what is the difference between drag radial and bracket radial?" In the title line, too "Re: Hoosier drag radial vs bracket radial"
What is confusing to us (Larry and Adger) is: Hoosier drag radial vs Hoosier bracket radial.
Is there a diffrence in longivity or in performance or in construction between the 31.5 X13.5r and the 31.5X 11.5R since they are marketed under differnt names?
Is it just a Marketing issue for Hoosier to list one as "Drag Racing- Radial" and the other as "Drag Bracket Radial" ??
I know about the construction difference in the M/T PBR and the Radial M/T's. When Michael Beard drove my Super Stock Gen 3 Camaro we tried to get a set of the MT's on the car.
At the time (early on) M/T didn't have a set that would fit properly. (Roll out vs width) I know Michael has had great sucess & longivity with the M/T PBR.
