I run the same Hoosier on a 16x10 and it hooks great... They do need a good burnout... Anything else you do to that suspension will only help.

My burnout is a 2nd gear, 70ish mph for ~5sec. There is enough smoke that depending on wind direction, I have to wait for it to clear to keep from prematurely tripping the staging beams.

Have u run the hoosiers on the 9.5 wheels yet? Interested if it makes a difference. Thinkin bout ordering hoosiers for my 16X 8's.

I agree. I have the Hoosier slicks on a 10" wheel and they always produce 1.5 sixtys unless the track prep is gone. I also run the ET Streets on a stock rim with the same results. Both are awesome tires for my setup.

I got these 10" wheels for $88 each from a clearance sale. They are Pro Comp Xtreme brand.

Sorry Rodney, I have not as the wheels have not come in yet, plus the truck is currently on jack stands in the garage getting suspension upgrades and new exhaust. I am really hoping they come in this week so I can test everything together this sunday at my local 1/8 mile (which always has mediocure prep). If not, I will be testing just the suspension work with the hoosiers on stock wheels. I hate that I will not be able to get any apples to apples comparisons on just the rim change.

Are those bias ply ET Streets or the ET Street radials? What size? I also have a set of 28x11.50x16 ET Streets my brother brought me this past weekend. I will probablly put those and my 295/50/16 radials on some stock wheels and bring them with me to the shootout.

EDIT: Nevermind on the suspension question; I searched and saw you have a 4-link.

I say slick too. save the radial for street use. I like my 28/10/16, but its on a 16x8. I am going to a 16x10 or 15x10 sooner or later.

I use the stock rims with ET Radials, 255/50/16. The suspension is a cheap-made to fit 4 link, sway bar and QA1's. Yes it all needs to be cleaned and painted !!

I forgot what 4-link I have in this thing. I just PM'd Bluecajun..he always remembers.

Try this for your sixty...really helps just kiddin !

You mentioned that your slicks with the stock rims causes the rearend to sway on the top end. I have that same problem but like folks have said above a wider rims will help also running a set of skinnies up front will also help. Running a slick out back with a street tire up front is a nig NO NO but we are all guilty of it. Big and littles FTW
