New tire selection

Anyone have any experience with the Hoosier
18240 31.0/14.0-15 C 14.0" 31.2" 98.0" 12-14" 12" 16.5" D05

I'm needing to replace some old, worn out 1902 Goodyears that had a 96.25 rollout.(Measured at race pressure) I'm thinking I need a little more rollout & this Hoosier tire has approx 2". One of my concerns is the real soft compound. Will it work on hot tracks? The other is the growth. The 1902 is a stiff sidewall and I'm not sure if it was a high, a normal or low growth tire. I've also been looking at the 12.2/31.25-15W PHOENIX Price difference is not a consideration .

Application is a 3175 lb Super Stock Modified 3 speed auto with approx 660 hp and is aggressively geared.
