did the 28x9 hook for you? what kind of 60' times did you see in comparison to your 28x10-16 hoosiers?

the 28x9 hooked solid i was impressed foresure, i never even hooked 100% wit the hoosiers in the RCSB. the 28x9's were the best be far, thats my 2 pennies. as for 60 times yes they dropped from the hoosiers the hoosiers i was mustarding a 1.78- 1.80 but did hit a 1.74 at one time and only once, when i swapped to the 15 inch with new slicks i dropped to a 1.74 lowest being a 1.73 hitting it once but steady at a 1.74 and only getting better. but the weight difference in the 16" rims and 15" rims were 10 lbs. the 15s i just sold weighs a mere 35 lbs with slicks, the 16's weighed in at 46 lbs. bro its gonna be in the weight of the tires, which i know you know that lol

i have a buddy with a s10 on the 28x9-15 with the softer compound and he can hook it off of the trans brake no problem.
i am gonna try the stiff wall since i already ordered them, if i feel theyre not doing the job i will go to a softer compound.


just in wheels i am taking off approximantly ( just guessing here) plus with the front runners on about 100 lbs. i have 18" boyds on the front, those bitch's are heavy

6.5 bs is the most you can go with our trucks. anymore than that will run into the inside of the fender and leaf spring.

you guys probably don't want to hear this but i think the ticket to fixing the traction problems will be to move up to a 29.5 tire.
