Default Tires

As most of you will see we have posted the new suplimentary regs for the nationals and we have refined the tire specifications.

To clarrify that any Hoosier brand tire is not a street legal tire, it may have a DOT rating but also has "For Competition use only" molded on the tire.

It is wrong that merchants sell these as street legal tires.

There is also this warning taken from the Hoosier site.

WARNING

NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE: All Hoosier Racing Tires including DOT labeled Hoosier Racing Tires are designed for racing purposes only on specified racing surfaces and are not to be operated on public roadways. DOT labeled Hoosier Racing Tires meet Department Of Transportation requirements for marking and performance only and are NOT INTENDED FOR HIGHWAY USE. It is unsafe to operate any Hoosier Racing Tire including DOT tires on public roads. The prohibited use of Hoosier Racing Tires on public roadways may result in loss of traction, unexpected loss of vehicle control, or sudden loss of tire pressure, resulting in a vehicle crash and possible injury or death.

The use of these tires will see you classed as open class.
