![]() I'm getting ready to soon order a set of new slicks. Which are better, the MT ET drag slicks or Hoosier's?
I'm going with 26x9x15 to mount on a set of 10 hole rims. Anyone have any experience with any of these slicks?

![]() I have had 3 sets of Mickey Thompson ET streets 26X 10.5 X15 and now I am running 26 X 8 X 15 Hoosier slicks.
On the ET streets my car squeals out of the hole a little bit and I bark 2nd and 3rd. On the Hoosiers my car dead hooks and I dont bark the tires at all. I went from 1.70-1.75 60fts to 1.66- 1.71 60fts with the Hoosiers. I like them both you wont go wrong either way.

![]() I've never tried the Hoosiers, all I have ever ran is the MT Et Drags. Everyone that I race with (that runs a slick) uses Mickey Thompson. A guy that races in my class used to run Hoosiers, but has switched to the MT's.

![]() I've ran Hoosiers for years and love them. 26x8.5/15 got me down in the low 1.6s for 60ft. times.

![]() listen to Andy, get the MT's
I think theres something to be said for the tires if everyone in a class that is looking for every last .001sec runs the MT's

![]() Yeah, I think I'm going with the M/T slicks, however, it was interesting to hear that Dark_5.0 had better results with the Hoosiers.
From all the replies I've heard so far, it sounds like he got his results backwards. I don't doubt him but it was interesting.
