Thumbs up Chek this pic out-Hoosier Tires at Launch

I blew up this picture so you can all see how the Hoosier 28x10-16 slicks hook when you leave the starting line.

I love how you can see how the sidewall wrinkles, also check out how the exhaust tips torqe down away from the ground effects.

Nice blowup! Just curious, should the wrinkle go all the way to the tire bead. Kinda' looks scary to me.

Thanks guys.

They are 32/14.00/15's on 15x12 bogarts.

I didn't like them at first, but I love the way they look on the truck. Just looks that much meaner.

yeah what my wife said they are 32-14.00-15 but un fortunatly they kill the top end mph because of the width and plus i need to go w/ a 4:56 gear ratio to accomidate the size i don't drive it on the street much but i think that would just murder the f1's i'm trying to talk my lovely wife into letting me buy a set of 29.5x12x15's

Hey Don I did not see any bead locks or screws in the wheels do you not have a problem spinning the tires on the rims. My Hoosiers moved about 1" to 1-1/2" on the wheels every pass. I am going to screw them to the rims should help out.

Great pic!! Do you remember what tire pressure you had in them at the time. I just got mine and will be taking them to the track shortly. I was going to start with 16lbs of pressure and then maybe go down to 13 lbs. Thanks

I was runing 17psi and cutting 1.63 to 1.64 60 foot times. It was the first time running those tires so I just kept them at 17 psi.

I may try to lower it some, but with those 60 foot times, I wouldn't go much lower.
