Default MTs or hoosiers

i've ran MTs for years, and like them. going to a 24.5x9x13 next year.


a local shop has a smoking deal on Hoosiers in that size.

i can get wholesale pricing with my account on MTs also. still over 100 more though.

any imports run the hoosiers? i want 10s on a stock block all year next year....will these=good or bad? of should i stick with what i like?

Well ive used both the MT's and Hoosiers in the same size.. and i can honestly say my 60ft was better with the hoosier..it wasen't much of a difference but it was a difference... i liked the hoosiers but had a hard time finding them for sale anywhere... seemed like they were disscontinued? i ended up just going with the MT's last time i bought my slicks.. id say if you can get a deal on the Hoosiers might as well do it..

i really like the Hoosiers, they 60ed as good as the MT's for me but lasted far
longer then the MT's. The stiffer sidewall gives a nice stable ride up top too,
almost as good as the Toyo's.

They might be a little hard on the tranny though.

if you guys say they will 60ft well, maybe i'll pick em up! local speed shop that had only been around a year got bought out by a dude, and hes selling them.

sat indoor for 1 year, so they should be fine. i'll treat the snot out of them, and save a few bucks i guess.
