Flippin' Hoosiers??, No Boob/No Political Content..... Options

[Joseph Mills]

Considering my topic description, hardly anyone will probably read this. But for those of you that are.......

I'm running my first ever set of Hoosier A3S03 Competition Autocross tires. I ran them about 2/3 of a season last year. They appear to still have a little life left in them. Maybe half a AX season or so.

My car has -1.25 F & -2.0 R degree camber. So there is that uneven wear to consider. The outside shoulder of the tire is rounded.....more uneven wear to consider.

To wrench all the mileage possible from these tires, would it be worth flipping the tires on their wheels for the 2nd half of their life?

They're supposed to be non-directional, so it should be safe to do so? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Brant,

I don't know that gentleman. Was his last name Price? I mountain biked with two sons whose father was autocrossing a 914 with great success in this region a few years ago.

#11 was built up by Rusty Persun who owned it about ten years. He did a lot of great improvements to it: 911 front susp with "S" brakes, turbo tie-rods, koni adjustables, 5-lug, weltmiester bushings, euro P/C kit, iskendarien valve train, balanced/blueprinted, battery to front trunk, 911 rear fender wells and much more. I feel very lucky to have found this car. With the guidence of this board, I have done many more modifications, but that's another story.

His dad, Ralph Persun, has worked, built and played with Porsches forever and operated a Porsche only garage for 20+ years. He's an ex-fighter pilot, airplane mech and has been nortorious in this area for decades as a maverick Porche guy. He's getting up in years, but still has a building full of cars (from a 356 spyder on), and has all the work he cares to have. Once they know you love Porsches, they're really nice guys.
