hooser or M/T Radials?

it's time to replace the Sportsman Pros and i'm looking for something more street friendly like the radials from Hooser or M/T.

leaning towards the Hoosers... more of an old school look, and will match my M/T sportsman front runners better

pros or cons on either?

we run the hoosier radials on the '68 and we're pretty happy with them.

I prefer the Hossiers as well (lookwise).

Hoosiers on mine also. Traction is terrible but I like the way they ride. Real big improvement over the bias tires

Re: hooser or M/T Radials?

I don't have the pro but I do have the standard sportsmans and they are very wishy-washy on the road. I think far better suited for a super light roadster or something like that. I have talked to guys that have went from the sportsman bias ply tires to both the Hoosiers and the SR radials and say you won't believe the difference. Only reason why I went with what I have is because I bought BOTH for $100 with the nubbins still on the tread. Crazy-good deal!
