D.O.T Racing radials - Hoosier — any good?

[marc5800]

Looking for input regarding these D.O.T racing radials

They are 225/50/R16
(Since some have mentioned 15’’ tires/rims wouldn’t fit)

Thoughts?

if you're using these for drag racing you'd be better off with a soft sidewall full slick

DOT radials will perform pretty well in the street. just be aware of their ability in climates other than strictly dry

I’d strictly use them for drag racing

Agreed a full slick would be better but I can’t find a 16’’ Hoosier in Canada with the right size (diameter / width)

from what ive seen a dot radial will not net much gain over a sticky summer tire. i see dot radial GTI around 2.0s 60ft

Damn alright...

I’ll keep looking for a full slick in 16’’

W/O PP you can definitely fit a 15” wheel. Several people are running them with slicks

Look into M&H for the proper size slicks
