Default Hoosier D.O.T. Drag Radial Tires

has anyone had any experience with these? they look very well suited and the average tread width is greater then most of the other radials on the market compared like for like.

I wish they made one in a 25 inch tall tire in a 15inch size. the closest they have is a 23.5" tall tire.

i thought those were more geared towards autocross/roadcourse type use?

ive been waiting on mickey thompsons to come off backorder for damn near a year now.. i might have to look into these as i dont drive the car in the rain or anything like that and dont really need any tread pattern.

whats the compound used on them? R2?
what sizes do they have them in?

are you guys talking about the MT ET Street radials? like the 225/50/15's for example???

R2 is the DR compound for the hoosiers.
