Mickey Thompson vs Hoosier pro street

Hello everyone.
I have the old M/T Sportsman tires. Size 31x18:50x15. They ride horrible especially with radial tires on the front. California truck never sees rain. I want a good ride and to be able to hook up somewhat. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Re: Mickey Thompson vs Hoosier pro street

The Hoosiers work well with front radials because they are radial. That's why I went with them. They are not the least bit sticky! I have the 31x16.50's on my T roadster and have 26K miles on them so they last. Using the same on the truck but would like to have some stickier tires. When I bought, there was nothing available in 17" with the look I wanted. I guess just be happy with the mileage. The T is a small block so the tires are adequate but the truck will roast the tires at will.
