Looks like you spent more on tires than I spent food shopping this month

The drag radials are trashed and have been featured on several Go_rila burnout mpegs. Never had much luck racing on them. The M/Ts are mine and probably the right diameter for my 3.73s. The Hoosiers I just picked up in Amarillo for a buddy here in Dallas. I'm thinking they would be perfect for someone running 4.10s. I think the Hoosiers will be a tight fit for a Roush lowered truck, but they should have enough clearance. I'll know in a little while.

Thanks Doug, Next question, who had a cobra hood they would like to sell. I wanted to try the used market before going the new route.
Thanks
