Default Hoosier QTP's

Thinkin about gettin a set of 28x14.5x15 Hoosier Quick Time Pro's with a 12.0 tread width and just wondering if many people run this time and if they need much heat to stick

I have a set of 28-14.50-16 QTps you can try if you ever come to Wichita to race. You can come up on Sundays and run unlimited TOs for 10 bucks.

I have an old dried up set of Hoosier QTP's 28x10.5-15, 7 years old that I went a 12.58 with my old 4.8 and no traction devices. They hook just fine, just as good as M/T ET streets.
