28" tire with some bite

I'm looking at moving up from the 26"er's and need real world advice on a 28" tire. Either the Nitto drag radial or a Hoosier slick. What size Hoosiers are you guys going with? The 28x10.0 x16"? Do the Nittos hook as well as the Hoosiers? Let me know what has worked for you guys. 60' times would be helpful. Thanks for any advice... Jeff

I don't have experience with either, I run ET Streets, but I guarantee that the Hoosier's will hook better than the Nitto's, not saying that the Nitto's won't hook but.......you are talking about 2 totally different tires.

Thanks soap. I guess my next question is what size Hoosiers are people running? The 28x10"x16"? Or is there a Hoosier D.O.T tire that will work for our L's?

You should have tried my ET streets last night

It would have been an interesting comparison
