Hoosier are rubbish, we use them in National Hot Rod racing, (circa£130 for an H10 slick) and the Avon equivalent is far superior even when used with tyre blankets

Are you referring to tyres in 10" fitment?

Hoosier were the best 10" when I was running on 10s.  but you had to get the "right" ones.

They do 10" but the NHR guys are 13" spec

I've decided to stop messing around trying to use narrow arches and rebuild my MB splits with 3.5" outers/4" inners, run miglia arches & get some Dunlop slicks. Anything other than this setup, running 10s, it seems I will just be giving away lap time.

 

Would you guys recommend the same compound all round, or a softer rear? - any ideas what the mig guys do?
