Rick,

I was able to streach the wear for the thin Hoosier Autocrosser tire for 9 months. I didn't drive the car much and with the alignment set to zero toe all round I got maybe 3000 miles before the cord started peeking through.

The Hoosier Road Race tires have much thicker tread. I ran a number of long rallies including the last Starlite to Las vegas and one autocross. They were good for about 6000 miles. The 295 series rears would not hold air without tubes. When the shop took them off the car they collapsed like big black trash bags. That made me stop and think, "man, I did 160 on those things"!

As a contrast, my new Toyo Proxy S/T tire have about 2500 miles on them now and show very little wear. This includes a number of skid pad sessions, too.

Paul
