Tires: Rotating weight vs radial construction

You need to find out if a 275/60 D/R is legal for Stock or not.

If so, the Hoosier is a very good choice. For the past couple years it has been the tire of choice for X275 racers running as quick as 4.70's in the 1/8 mile with 60's in the mid teen range, so it's a proven performer. The Hoosier weighs 24 lbs each.

Mickey Thompson came out with a tire to compete with the Hoosier which it's new part number is 3754X. Not fully released right now and again, need to verify legality for the stock class. The new M/T weighs 32 lbs each.

Rumor has it Hoosier wasn't happy with M/T coming out with it's new "Pro" 275 and is planning a tire to compete with it. Should be interesting to see if and how this plays out.

If legal, put them on a 10" rim.
