When you can catch them on sell they cost 220.00 a pair to your door.

Joe, what compound have you run? In my division, Donnie Hough's car will hook anywhere even in the left lane at Shreveport. I would look at your suspension setup and the compound that you run. I found that the reason that Donnie was hooking and I wasn't was because he runs Hoosiers CO6 compound and I was running CO7's. My car was hooking anywhere except the local track often call Spin City.With a good shock(Sanhuffs if you can afford), Caltracs/CompEng bar, Caltrac springs, loose front end, etc. the radials will hook as good as any bias tire. Hope this helps.

Alan don't most run 26-28 LBS in radials 15 would explain that much wrinkle.
Mike V,
Auto guys also say that if radials spin they keep spinning

Anyone using M/T L8 compound? Have used it on a couple different sizes with good results, 32x14 and 28x9

Going with another set now
