    Has anyone ran their cars on both DOT's (Hoosier Quick Time Pro) and slicks? Is their much of a difference in 60' times. I have a 3917 lb (with me in it) GS that runs 11.30's. Do you think there would be much difference in the 2 types of tires? Thanks!

    I know the ET streets are the same construction as the ET drag as far as MT tires go.......I would assume a similar construction with the hoosiers.
    My buddy runs the QTP that are 29x11 on his 72 'Lark and has his quickest passes (11.4's) on them vs. his OLD slicks.
    I think you'll like them.

    Nice magazine feature too...Congrats

    A couple of years ago I ran both mt ET streets and Hoosier radials the 10.5 slicks I ran a best of a 1.44 sixty with the hoosiers and a 1.46 with the et streets but i would bet if you averaged them they would have even been closer than that My Et Streets were the 13.50 30 and they rubbed alittle on the inner wheel well when I turned so i went with the smaller 10.5 30 hoosier. I have thought about going back to an ET to run more street stuff over here but just haven't yet. Plus I'm not sure I want to start over with the suspension making it work again.
