Which slicks are better?

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.

My father use to run Hoosiers and 1.29 60ft, But they didn't bite on every track. So he switch to goodyear. They'll hook in my front lawn.LOL. This is his third year and still hooking. Mine are only a year old and still Hook

Well, he was comparing the Hoosier slicks to ETstreets, which have a stiffer sidewall than the ETdrags and won't hook quite as well. Don't let the "size" listing fool you either, a 10.5 ETstreet actually measures about 8.5-9"

I am comparing Hoosier "slicks" to ET streets which are close to slicks but not quite.
