HOSIERS V/S M/T slicks

Which spark plugs are you using????????????????

Okay, I'm sorry. You asked a loaded question. I like both brands, and have never had trouble with either. Of course, I have never ran a tire that narrow though. There are a lot of things that can make a car hook, and most are not all tire related.

The new VP Lane Choice traction compounds just plain suck IMO, the ancient VHT TrackBite compound that has been around forever is the only way to go.

Texas Raceway in Kennedale tried Lane Choice a while back and it was just terrible, it was inconstant as siht pass to pass. It wouldn't even attempt to pull your shoes off when you walked up-on the starting line like the old traction compound would.

Dave, we have seen the same thing around here. A new track opened up a couple years ago, the VP people came down and did the inital track prep, and it never did come around. They worked on the track for months. It was decent in the daytime but as soon as it got dark guys were sliding around everywhere. They went to VHT and fixed most of their issues.

Both tire MFG's are good. I have Hoosier's on my car now,but have had good results w/ET's for years.

I had the MT on my Fairlaine , 3750 lbs , around 650hp. Small burnout and 9.5 lbs in them . Our track uses the VP traction compound. Never had an issue.

The guys with hooziers definitely needed a larger burnout. I did do the odd showoff burnout and the Mickey's turn to slippery slush an turn hard most of 1st.

I had good luck with both but i run hoosier so i want wear out my compressor pumping up tires.

Soap the inside of the tires with dish soap, and they will hold air, use lots of soap.
