Pull up a sear Rick. There were almost 50 back orders at Summit alone, and there is no realistic projected delivery. If you need something for summer, you might want to check into something else.

Here's a pic of the Hoosier DOT drag radials.

That's a DOT tire?!
Holy Crap!

I think if someone sneezed in the vicinity of that thing it might get slippery. I bet it hooks great at the track though.

11.3@123mph on 195/75/14" whitewalls. Yes, 195s!
11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.

If they came in whitewall, then I'd be all over those. But for now I'll have to stick with my M&S (mud and snow)

Well, the Hoosiers came in yesterday. They have the DOT stamping, but say ( on the tire ) "Competition only-Not for street use". I will call Hoosier tomorrow to get a straight answer. I want to make sure they a legal, and that Hoosier is not just putting out a disclaimer.

Well the Hoosiers are going back. They are designed for NHRA class competition only. The Summit salesman sold me a dream, now they are picking up the cost of returning them, and of sending out my M/T drag radials.

The M/T's are nice, they have a cool tread pattern. I bought a set through Jegs for a friend of ours as a gift. (He was the one that delivered our two daughters!) I was going to get a set for my car too.
