Tires for Stick Car

I never counted runs. I ran them all summer when I was bracket racing. Just bought new tires every spring. I have some friends & customers that have used the MTs, and for their cars they weren't as consistent, nor lasted as long. Other cars love them. My car slowed 5/100 in 60' with MTs, in A-B-A testing against the Hoosiers. Both were 10.5" stiff sidewall bias tires. Mike & Paula Cotton were there, and I think Mike was as suprised as I. In Super Stock trim, I haven't had any tire spin issues at all with the radials. Many cars do just fine with MTs. Just need to find what your car likes. I never had the Hoosiers 60' times degrade, even when the wear holes were gone.

Really? Is it a stick car?

Sorry I wasn't clear, no it's an automatic. I was responding to his question about differences in tire wear.

I won't even consider a radial on a stick car. Wanna thank everyone for their replies. Still contemplating what we want to do.
