Hoosier Tires

[scottj]

I've run A3S03, A3S04, and currently the A6. I like the A compound for the street as it has better grip at lower tire temp than the R compound. I'd imagine you could get into trouble very easily in the rain, hence the disclaimer, but I don't drive the car in the rain. I've never had any other type of tire on the car.

What David said...

The first set of tires on my car were STREET T/D's...on the track they were great!!!...on the STREET a total nightmare!

Any pavement crack or joint would upset them...the car could almost change lanes and it was always a fight to keep it going straight.

They were replaced with Dunlop G/T Qualiers...not very sticky compared to the Street T/D's, but the car felt like it was on rails in comparison.

Also, the Hoosiers were seriously "weather checked" in just a few months...cracks all over the sidewalls. Perhaps no ozone protection in the race rubber.

Got the impression they were meant for a few track weekends and then throw away...which I did.

Before they were mounted I picked one up...like with one finger...a regular street radial is much more robust, LOTS of material. IMHO race type tires aren't meant to deal with the nasty road hazards a street radial takes without damage.
