Personally I like M&H and Good Year, that's all we use. With ~500whp I would go with M&H 25x8.7x13's. We have Good Year 26x10x15's on Duc's car now and I love them. Not too much experience with Hoosier tho.

and about 25x8.7x13... we are using those and they aren't doing much good. too much slipping!!! we are at about 533whp.

I have much more power than that. Here is what I have tried and my results:

MT 24.5x8x13......just like street tires (spins like crazy down the track)

MT 26x8.5x15......Still spins too much (MT compound is not good for me)

Then talked with John @ M&H and because their compound is so much softer, it will grab better on the track. So I now have a set 25x8.7x13 just got them the other day so I will head to the track next week and see what happens.

I was running 24.5x9x13 Hoosiers and I loved them. I was only putting down about 300-325hp and was pulling 1.6-1.7 60's all day. I also have one frined that is using the same slick with 425hp in a 16valve GTI and he is running 1.5 60's.
