Yes the dish washing soap works . For some reason the Goodyear's are the worst . The Goodyears also pick up more rocks on the return road .

I'll have to try that on the next set. I know what you mean on the Goodyears and rocks! I cover the wings on the way back to the pits to protect them. I have got a new set of Hoosier's JR Fuel tire coming tomorrow. It is said to be improved. We shall see.

Jon, The first set of Hoosiers were the 30# PN 18225 and as you would expect hurt the cars performance significantly. They were hard, stiff and heavy. I went back to Hoosier Midwest and spoke with the drag race rep. He made a call and the next day I had two new tires. They are the same 31.0/12.0-15 C11 BUT weigh 26.6#. We took the car to our local track and with good track conditions fell flat on our face with the tune-up. So the season is over here. I believe Hoosier has improved their tire but the Goodyear 2585 is the better choice by it's lightweight high growth design. George
