Questions about radial slicks

67 Camaro, 385 cu.in. Runs 10.20's to 10.50's depending on which tires I use, the track and the air. I run the Hoosier 28 x 10.5 stiff sidewall tires on 10" wheels, or the Hoosier 30 x 10.5 radials on 10" wheels. The difference in et is 0.10 and the rpm increases about 300 rpm thru the lights. Your reaction times will be quicker with the radials especially when compare to standard sidewall bias ply tires. This is my on my car, your results may of course vary. (You may want to try the 10.5" radials as opposed to the 9". On my car 29 x 10" bias ply, and the 28.5 x 10.5" stiff wall bias ply and the 10.5" radials all fit essentially the same.)
