Just offering an observation. There are variety of reasons why people use a certain brand tire and, needless to say, there are many winners on M/T tires. Maybe I notice Hoosiers more because I run them, but it would be interesting to see the actual percentages.

For that car, I'd suggest the Hoosiers. The 9"x30", on a 10" or wider rim. The lightweight radial C06 for going fast, and the bias ply D05(softest) or D07 for "bracket mode". You'll get maybe 50-60 passes out of the radials, more out of the bias ply. You do not need a monster burnout, quick and clean, go straight to the line. The 28"x4.5"x15" for the front.

There's nothing wrong with M/T tires. Or Goodyears, for that matter.

A few people get tires free, or even get paid to run them.
