So, I have the 2019 Mustang GT A10. A little over 1k whp. I currently have on Et Street Rs and there is no way imaginable to hook on street from dig(haven't tried prep). Track is fine and 45 rolls and faster in warm weather are fine.
I just ordered the Hoosier QTP bias ply and M&H front runners bias ply for my other set of rims. My buddy seems to really think that these will help me tremendously to hook on street. I also have a timing ramp tune Lund sent me to help also.

So what do you guys think?
Will it be easier to hook on digs on Street?
Should I still do prep regardless?
Would the radials or the bias ply do better at track for 60ft and et? (currently at a 1.5 60ft that is very consistent, but is killing me from being easy 8s.

They might help on the street/poor track prep, but the radial will always be faster on the track if prep supports it. A bias/slick type tire is designed to controlled spin. A radial once it spins the slightest bit it does not recover well.

A bias ply at 10-12 psi will usually hook better than a radial. But of course 99% of my experience is on a track. What do you have to loose by trying them.

Slick/bias ply will work better on then street compared to a radial at that power level. Will still have to use prep

Hoosier QTP is a terrible tire IMO. Tried it numerous times on various setups. With 1kwhp in a s550 on the street, Hoosier slick is your best option.

The ET Street won't work in the cold without prep. The Hoosier in a better tire, and it gave me the best results at the track so far. I currently have the 28x11.50r17 tires, but I like the rolling diameter so I'm going to try it next year on a prepped track. Since our cars are heavy, i run them at 22-28 psi. I've been 1.38 or 1.39 60ft on a 28X10.0 r17 with the 9.5-inch-wide race star (no bead lock). With less air, it moves around too much for me

I run QTPs on my car and I have to run them really low on pressure to somewhat hook in 3rd and 4th on the street. I may be trying MT ETRs next year though.

On my old truck w/10R80, I ran 28" Hoosier DBR. Those were fantastic!
