Miglia compound is 622 r & 770 f or may have new numbers by now.

To give you an idea I have some carefully stored tyres of those compounds that have probably done a dozen trackdays and are still not knackered and provide decent grip so bugger all good for drag racing. You want uncut wets or 436 compound in a dunlop.

Dunlops will go with your geometry but certainly for circuit use Hoosiers require a lot more camber - perhaps Carl can confirm the situation re camber on Hoosiers for drag use - probably don't need any?

For drag racing you are obviously looking for the maximum contact patch in a straight line, so we run the cars almost bang upright for drag use.

as Tom pointed out, straight up offers max contact but looks crap on photos.lol.

as a side note nick ,you mentioned more camber for the hoosier, this is true due to the this carcass, but when Tom nad i took don to curborough we bunged a pair of 7.5 " on off the twinnie, we had to guess the p[ressure IIRC and thew tyre showed an even wear across the width, maybe this was due to the track no being all to challanging in the corners ,

from memory i think i used to run about 2 degs neg camber way bback in 94-5 on the Don and when the tyres wore out it there appeared to be even wear across the whole tyre.

but bear in mind the 6.5 tyre is a ciompletely different tyre to the 7.5 in all round size, taller and fatter ,
