uhhh another tire question

[Pete Munroe]

FWB and Snakebit,

FWB, which M/T's are you running...the S/T or the S/R...? Huge difference I am thinking.

I have been looking at the S/R radials...(AVONS are out of my price range) and I will never run another bias race tire, DOT approved or not (Hoosier Street T/D's...track dream, street nightmare) I assume Goodyear Billboards are the same as the Hoosier Street T/D's.

The M/T S/T's appear to be a regular street radial, give or take the same as the Dunlop G/T Qualifiers, Firestone, BFG, etc...good street radials, but not performance oriented sticky tires for open tracking a Cobra type car.

The M/T S/R LOOKS to be more of a track tire at a lower price. Softer rubber???, stickier???, shorter life span??.

Who actually has used the M/T S/Rs' and how did they seem to work...if you have NO experience with other tires, please say so to help put things in perspective.

Always a good, if frustrating anecdotal topic.

I am running M/T Sportsman SR's. Not one bit of a problem for almost 3 years. They stick fine and am still trying different tire pressures for other than street. I had BFG which is not sticky at all as most would agree. They do hook up but probably not as well as some 17's out there from what i have heard. About a grand for a set mounted and balance.
