I spoke with Chris Barker yesterday, he suggested running the 18370 15x33 Hoosier. he thinks the sidewall might be a little too stiff on the 18372. I respect his opinion since he sells Goodyear, M/T, and Hoosier. Chris also said if the sidewall on the 18370 was a little soft I could put a tube in it to stiffen it up some.
Dtye and Inferno you guys are making some good power, Oakley has his program figured out for sure. I'm making about half of that, my stuff is just light, a little over 1900lbs. I just have a 421 small block. I appreciate your guys responses.
When you get some time on the 18370 I would be interested in your opinion on it. I had considered running that tire myself for the roll out. I run 8.0lbs in the 18250 and was surprised when I went to that tire how weak the sidewalls are.

| JAFR,I tried a set of 18370s on my suspended altered cause that's what Hoosier recommended.Man they shook like crazy,the 05 compound was way too soft and agressive for my light car.I hope they work out for ya!By the way,looking at your picture,it's true your car doesn't kill the tire like mine,lol.  |

| I know Hoosier says D5 is a dead hook compound and that is probably what you are wanting. I have a buddy that ran the 18370 D5 on a roadster that ran 5.90 and he had good luck with them and could run them until tread was gone. quote: Originally posted by JAFR:

JAFR,the 18372 is the tire I have on my door car. It is a really stiff sidewall tire and works great and sidewalls last with these. I ran the Mickey 3080 before these, you're right the sidewall went away pretty quick. My 60 is only 1.10-1.11 but my car weighs 2550 race ready. I had a suspended altered before this car and wish the 18372 had been out then, it worked best(and no shake) with the 3080.Oh,and they work best with 7lbs. of air.
I would like to know more about this as I need 3080's but they aren't available. My car is 124" wheelbase s-10 tube chassis, 4.56 gear and has a mini blower 582 motor in it that makes a little over 1250hp. it went 4.30's in my 2100 lb dragster. Just trying to understand the pro's and con's to the 18372 vs the 3080.
