    Hoosiers
    « on: May 19, 2013 - 06:35:31 AM »
    anyone know if these do better than MT ET streets?
    They don't need an inner tube.
    They weigh 7 lbs less than a MT (24 vs 31 lbs), which I would think
    is a pretty big deal, if you wanna be quick!

    from my experience, Hoosiers can hook a bit better at the strip, but on the street, they have flimsy sidewalls and handle much worse.  They are also even worse than Mickey's if you get caught in the rain.
