I have a 33.5x17x16 Hoosier tire now and have spin at the hit. The tires I have need replacing before the season starts just looking at other options.

Thanks

I’ve ran both brands, had good luck with both, just annoyed that evertime a Hoosier question is brought up a bunch of people that don’t have personal or first hand experience on the tire feel the need to jump in and fanboy their favorite tire (not you torq you did the appropriate thing and said what you knew and that maybe someone with first hand knowledge would pipe in eventually). My guess is not many have ran it (as you stated it’s a T/D tire) but Hoosier recommended it and hopefully somebody will say they have and what they thought.

I’ve never shook a Hoosier....I have blistered and had quality problems with MT, my current 3196’s are great....but since the goal is not to help the original poster but to run mouths about some people’s experieces that they heard from a friend when they were talking to the girl at the ET shack...I figured I would do the same with Mickey Thompson’s...by the way your hear they went out of business and they are dead beats when it comes to people that won gift certificates right? I mean that part isn’t true, that’s not even within the same context of the original question, but figured I would throw it out. Also Goodyear is responsible for a number of Top Fuel drivers deaths, the guy who once was on the board at Phoenix tires once gave my dad an over the pants handie.

Now that we covered all the tires and how they suck, anybody run the BR-1 on a super gas car?

(Also I have heard of this Ed guy)

I didn’t think you did Top, I agree bashing MT was a “ED” thing to do, and my point was you can bash any tire (or product) but that doesn’t help the original poster looking for information...I just assumed the negative Hoosier post was coming from a MT fan so I took the opposite side to prove a point, or be contrary...however you want to look at it.

I guess my nature is when someone asks something I don’t reply if I don’t have first hand experience. If I have a negative experience I say “I used it and this happened to me, this is why, how I got around it, or unless they fixed it I would look at this”. I was being sarcastic and taking the other way which is bad mouth it with no backup, explanation, and often no first hand experience. You can say on this case “well everybody complains they shake” which is false on its face since many don’t...and the pool of racer that use BR-1 on a super gas car is sooo small the chances of anybody that jumps in and says they will is most likely taking out their butt. On top of that there are soooooo many variables on tires what works good in my car maynot on yours (power settings, weight, shock settings, suspension settings, track temp, track condition) that a blanket statement like “have a welder” is silly since mine doesn’t shake. Maybe his did but that’s because he doesn’t have enough power or suspension is not right or whatever. Now answering like “man I would be careful with the BR-1 because if you don’t hit it hard enough you may have some shake, I had that and ended up on a c1500 and had much better luck”...that helps the original poster, keep a welder handy not so much. Just like my comment, my Mt’s didn’t leak and I didn’t need soap, I heard people that did...I blistered mine but running 220mph in a 145 degree race track, so I always say “well if your not running 220 on hot tracks you’ll be in good shape with a 3196, but faster than that may want to look at a different tire”...that’s helpful, not “MT sicks they blister”.

Lots of words but that’s my explanation for why I was a smart a$$, not because that’s the type of person I usually am....also it’s cold here and I want to race my car so I’m grumpy.
