M/T radial question

mopar man · 09-05-2009, 05:46 PM

On the super stock style M/T radials how many runs do you put on them before putting on a new set with a mid to low 9 second car? What about the Hoosiers?I realize your car has to be optimum as far as the way it works to run these tires...What about marginal hot racetracks?
Thanks

i've ran nothing but the m/t radials since they were available for our 3200 lb ss car.
car goes low to mid 10's.
I am probably TOO hard on my burnouts and I get 50-60 runs before showing some cords.
I've heard of others saying 75 - 100 (with easy burnouts is normal).
As I posted.... I probably am too hard on them in the burnout... just an old habit.

ps..... in 5 years.... i can count on one hand how many times i have spun! (knock on wood.....)

now if could only get on that TEAM M/T!

Mopar,

Byron and I typically get between 95-100 runs out of a pair of M/T Radials! Not real aggressive in the burnout box either!! We run the 14.5x33 and 14x32's.

Dad typically gets around 80 runs on 12.2 radials.

The last pair of 14.5x33's I got rid of had 96 runs on them and still had wear holes showing!!
