drag slick or DOT race tire?

Not sure if this helps, but I run Hoosier quick time pros (28x11.5). My car is driven on the street and strip. I race about 12 times a year and with short burnouts the tires hook great and last a long time (usually 2.5-3 years). Street driving is usually just on the weekends for short trips around town. This is on my 10 second Barracuda.

For what its worth, one of the guys I race with uses the same tire and he replaces them every year...then again, he also burns them hard in the burnout box.

are u running tubes in them? I had a pair of 10 x 28`s on a 11 sec G M C, tubless, and they held air for 3 yrs before I sold them. wish I still had them for this build. I was more impressed w/ them than any slick I`ve ever owened.--------------bob
