Gentlemen: Thanks for the feedback. Lots of positive comments re: Hoosiers. Ernie, thanks for your Yokahama comments. Sounds like a good, all-around high performance tire, but tire mileage is less important to me right now than performance. Besides, I am avoiding lava courses. ; ) Good luck on SB 2021. We're lucky here in California.
Jamo: Sorry if I confused the issue by mentioning my Goodyear slicks. I live only a couple of miles from an company that occasionally holds autocrosses on one of its large parking lots. I figured I could sneak over there using back roads and just try them out. I know they need to be sufficiently hot to work properly. If they don't work out for autocrossing I'll save them for shows, and eventually, track work. To be more specific, right now I am looking for DOT tires that I can legally run on the street and that combine exceptional street/autocrossing performance. As I check out Roger Kraus' site, it shows the Hoosier TDs to be "Historic NON DOT" (are these radial or bias?) and that Hoosier strongly advises against running even their DOT approved racing tires on the street. It sounds as if Hoosier's lawyers have been involved here. If I decide to get really serious about autocrossing again, I'll consider towing and running Hoosiers, either TDs or the A3S03. I do like the idea of sticking with 15" rims, by the way. They really do look better. I'd love to compare the two before commiting. I do plan on changing toe between street and autocross and I always drive with two hands on the steering wheel, a habit I learned from my autocrossing many moons ago. This is good advice.
Rick: It sounds like you had great success with your TDs. I like the idea of less unsprung weight; I believe the Kumhos are pretty light as well. Four seconds off your autocross times is very impressive. What kind of tires were you using initially? Please don't say Kumhos! ; ) Rich
