    Small tire racing, can't beat a M/T. Big tires, always see the big tire cars w/ hoosiers on around here. I always run M/T tires. Part#3055 28"x10" , 15 psi. 1.28 60'.

    My M/T's loose air also, but it takes a week or two. Would love to try a pair of Hoosier's but it's a real hassle changing tires because only one shop within a 50 mile radius does them............or that I would trust.

    When I had the tubes in along with screws it was great, but no way am I going to drill holes in my new wheels.................................

    The M/T 28x9's are a softer compound than the 28x10.5's, so they will hook better. I think I will try Hoosiers next time though.
