Saw my pro stocker today----and I think I'd have to replace the tires on it just to load it in the trailer

with all the talk on various boards about Hoosiers not holding air, mine have had the same 20lbs. of air in them since I bought them back in 2002. Ganted that is a rather static example but, just sayin'.

well your air is so thick in IL you can stand on it my hoosiers leak a lot good thing was the rubber came off in chunks so they did not last long so i only had to top them off 10 times before i pitch them

I'll have to weigh mine to see how the good years are doing---of course -is the air in them better? or worst?(sounds like an eye exam?)don't remember where I mounted them

One year at Indy Nationals---a quick rainstorm came over--we rolled the dragster into the trailer up to the rear slicks( trailer was built for car with 11 inch wheels--since we had 13 wheels that we put on after getting car out, we couldn't get it back into the trailer ===tire side walls were foaming like a mad dog from so much seepage thru the sidewalls
