I like Mickey Thompsons because they feel more stable on the top end. Hoosiers made my car feel like it was wobbling.

I ran Hoosiers on my Nova and M/T's on my Super Bee. Both cars hooked fine. I feel that if your on slicks and your not hooking, it's generally not the tires fault. Also once you get into the 9 second area, tires wear out before the tread is gone.
