Tire Selection for ODSS 10.5

Making the final push to get the truck ready for the season, planning to run the ODSS 10.5 class. Looking for tire recommendations. What do y'all recommend?

Don't know if it matters or not, third gen QCSB Dodge 4WD, 48RE and 3.73's (manual truck converted to auto).

Hoosier 28x14.50, need to do a little work grinding the front calipers to get 16" wheels to clear.

Tire Selection for ODSS 10.5

I run Mickey Thompson ET Street R Drag Radials in a 315/50r17 on some 17x10 Moto Metal wheels. They are 29.5" tall and have worked really well so far.

Do they have decent manners when you get out of the throttle on the big end, Bodie?

I dont notice much difference between these and my 420s on that end of the track. There are more and more people running these tires. Larry Brown runs them on stock dodge aluminum wheels.

You run these on the street also? What’s your wheel offset? Looks like they stick out pretty good or maybe it’s just the photo angle.

I just picked up a set of Hoosier DR2s 325/45/18 for my drag truck that i plan on running the same class with this year. They're on some 18x12 fuel wheels, heard good things about them and got the setup for a good deal so we will see how they do.

They are a -24 offset, and do stick out pretty far.

I was hoping you would chime in, thank you!

Out of curiosity, you mentioned 420's, do you have any experience with those at the track? Obviously a true drag tire will do best, but I have wondered how they perform in a drag application.

I appreciate your input, and I hope they work well for you. Unfortunately I wouldn't use a set of Hoosiers if they were free. I had some bad experience with Hoosiers 15-20 years ago and will never put them on anything again.

They worked well, I did a best of 1.64 60ft on them. Most street/strip guys use the 420s or Toyo Proxes. I have taken these out on the street a couple times, and they are fine. Only running 20-25psi makes them a little goofy, but airing them up would help with that. I dont drive mine on the street much anymore, single S485 and no interior or AC isnt much fun in south TX.
