Look at the MT 29.5x10 or11x9 in the stiffwalls (ST). I can't say enough about the difference running an ST tire made in the longevity and consistency of the car and tire(s). I run (ran) the 29.5x9x9 on my black car and they literally picked up .05 in the 60's and I can run them down to the indicators without issues. When I ran the hoosiers, I'd get about 40-45 passes on them tops and then they would fall off. Basically I was wearing the side walls out and by the time I'd take them off the rim, they were as flimsy as a wet paper towel. PM or call me if you want more info.

Hoosier makes some Stiffwalls in select sizes, will any of them fit your need?
