Depending on your setup/power high 1.6's aren't all that bad. We primarily run M&H and Good Year which I love. Don't really have any experience with Hoosiers tho. Good Luck

Okay, so yea, I don't know what his setup is and that's why I said, "depending on your setup" but would you be happy with what is really close to a 1.7 60' in a stripped car and a lot of power? You don't need to quote me, seems like you always want to start something...

run the ***** off your hoosiers, then switch. as far as i know, hoosier stopped making their 13 inch fwd slicks. Thats how i got my set--direct form hoosier for 200 shipped on a close out sale.

i have run mickeys and hoosiers, both seem the same. m&h is the next tire to get, may grab their 13 inch dot legal ones for street use , and if they hook hard, then the full blown slick will eb on the bogarts.

there is pontiac GTP that runs low 12's locally, he runs on hoosiers, i believe he was getting ~1.8ish 60foots... not too bad for a 3200lb car with a automagic
