thank you in my original post i should have explained what classes i was referring to they are minis,thunders/bombers, street stock/your thunders (i think) and pro truck class running on a gm metric body with a 60 series limit.

i have used the falken tires they are good and cheap enough for teams on a limited budget to purchase if they shop around i know i get them at a decent price here and i don't have to worry about shipping and handling fees, whereas some guys are getting them shipped up from the states and are paying us dollars for them but then again with our dollar being par with theirs doesn,t make much of a difference anyways

at Tracks here in michigan, guys like the Sumitomo and Master craft tires,,, VERY CHEAP!! and Very Fast!

see this CRO thread,,,

  Most the thunder cars / street stocks here run a hoosier spec tire .There are very few choices in a raceable tire in that spec and that price range to choose from since it is the same size tire i use on my pick up . I would chose the BFG  TA that is a little softer and has a better construction .

Trick the Master Craft is just a re branded Cooper Cobra.

correct about the hoosier spec,but not allowed yet at our track,biggest concern is safety. the 8" spec tires will drop a second from the lap times,but then we start having brake issues,spindle problems and broken axles. the cost to shod my street stock(81 camero) in hoosiers would be $1380 min for the year. to run the cobras is 480 for the year plus saving the cost on brakes axles etc. i have no doubt the tires you tire you list are faster i am just wondering if the are the right choice for entry level classes with older equipment.
