I ran a set of MT ET streets all this last season and was less than impressed with traction at the track. They seem to be good on the street though. Now I am looking at getting a set of real slicks that I can put on when I go to the track but I honestly don't know if there is any real difference between brands? So what do you guys use? I don't care how expensive they are, just want the best.

MT?
Goodyear?
Hoosier?
Phoenix?
Other?

Thanks for the help.

Hoosier (Daddy?) seem to be most popular with the straight line guys in my club..

Agreed I have had good luck with Hoosier, they make a great stiff sidewall 10" tire for heavy cars, the Goodyear Eagles are good, some are made in US some are made in Chile, try and find US ones

I prefer inflated....
I have had experience with M&H Racemasters (1970 vintage slicks are slill working) GoodYears and Mickey Thompsons.

Too big will give you the best traction.
M/T's work very well, Better than their street slicks.
Its more a matter of price,size,availability,etc.

I've been running M/T slicks for years.on heavy nitrous runs,and have no problem hooking up !

Pretty much an exho of n20michael's thoughts here...
I'm running Hoosier QT Pros (the street slick) on the street toy and am pulling the same 60' as I did with a pair of Goodyear Eagle soft sticky slicks http://www.nastyz28.com/ubb/smile.gif . Was so happy with the Hoosiers that I put a set of Hoosier slicks on the Nova and gave up 0.03 to 0.05 http://www.nastyz28.com/ubb/frown.gif over the old Firestone slicks I had. I think this goes more to weight than anything. I've ran Goodyears on light chassis's with good luck,,, Firestone (Phoenix) and Hoosiers seem to lend themselves a litttle better to heavier cars.

Hi all,

Thanks so much for all the replys! I think I will go with the Hoosiers since my car is a heavy beast LOL. I have done a lot of things to lighten this car up and with me in it, it still weighs in at 3200 lbs. But it does still have full interior http://www.nastyz28.com/ubb/smile.gif
