I do not know much about A-body suspensions other than what I have read on the other forums. I know if you have big power, stock suspensions are hard to hook-up with those boats. Hence, regardless of if which tire you run, considering his suspension and power level, he is probably going to spin, thus what becomes important is recovery time and a bias ply will almost always recover much quicker than a radial. (But, maybe not the Hoosier... I don't know) I do agree, the Hoosier tire has passed everybody in the drag radial department by all reports. I've run just about every drag radial, except theirs.... but I want too, its not just the heads-up racers raving about the Hoosier drag radial, but also the bracket racers. The other DR tires simply do not hold power consistently enough for a bracket racer, such as myself. I've lost so many races due to them, I'm soured on them. One thing about a radial though... if you get it hooked up in your roll-out, it will run faster than the BP tire. As a note, I've got a great article on tires where Ken Warner, the MT guru talks about everything being discussed in this thread. Maybe tomorrow, if I have time, I'll scan it and then post it. It is interesting. later |
