Has anybody tried a set of these? I searched everywhere with no luck.

I have not used those but help some guys with the Hoosier radial slick, they are lighter than the Mickeys but have less of a sidewall to then they tend to be more forgiving than a Mickey, so they dont have to be quit as "Dead Hooked" and will still get you down the track like a slick.
I prefer to use the Mickeys on heavy stuff, thats where the sidewall shines at on them, but you have to dead hook them and keep them there.2007 SBN/A Drag Week Winner & First only SBN/A Car in the 9's Till 2012

I'm running the Hoosier 325/50/15 on a 15x10 rim. While the car is heavy the Hoosier is a quite bit more forgiving if you have a less than perfect leave as Jeff mentions. With Mickey's if it didn't dead hook the run was over as once they start spinning I'd have to completly get out of the throttle and then ease back on. With the Hoosiers you can pedal it a bit and keep the car accelerating losing a tenth or two in 60 ft. time.
I also haven't had the dreded tire sahke with the Hoosiers. With the Mickey's air pressure too low the shake will break parts.Drag Week 2006 & 2012 - Winner Street Race Big Block Naturally Aspirated - R/U 2007 Broke DW '05 and Drag Weekend '15 Coincidence?Comment
