Anyone else they are makeing more sizes in a 16'' rim and also have a drag radial out now but still nothing bigger than 28'' tall a 30'' would be awesome but a 29'' would be good also. Lets keep the e-mails going. They cant ignore us forever.

I sent the following email about a year ago with no response. Sending a follow up email now. Maybe it will not fall on deaf ears this time. BTW, I have sent similar emails to MT and although not promising, I did receive responses back.

Subject: 29" tall drag radial?

Good afternoon Steve,
I would like to inquire as to the intentions of Hoosier comming out with a
~29-30" tall drag radial or radial slick for 16" diameter rims with a
minimum 10.5" tread width. (In metric sizes ~305-325/55/16) I do not know
how much market research the company has done into this size range but I
believe it is something that would sell well in the late model performance
truck market. I myself have a high powered Chevy Silverado (~630rwhp) and
currently run a Hoosier 28x10x16 slick with less than optimal results. I
can cut consistant mid 1.6 60' with a bit of tire spin without flashing the
converter hard to a best 60' of 1.57 dead hooking(stellar track prep).
Also, mixing a bias-ply with a street radial up front makes the truck a bit
unstable on the topend thus the reason for wanting to try a radial out
back. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response on this
subject.

Since this was brought back up... I don't recall receive a reply to my follow up email sent back in September. I have been patiently waiting since I have a custom set of 16" wheels but I guess I am going to have to go to a 15 to use the 30X10.5X15 C06 lightweight radial slick (pn 12814). It would be awesome to see Hoosier come out with this same tire for a 16" rim.
