I tire tested this last Time Trial at Buttonwillow. I'm running 23x9x15 canti slicks in the following:
Goodyear = R430 Compound Hoosier = R60 Compound I scubbed both new sets of tires in 1 month ago at Laguna. I then ran the Goodyears in session 1 on Sat and Hoosiers in session 2. I reversed the order on Sunday in order to be fair about track temps. Both days were low 80's ambient. Saturday I was 1.8 seconds a lap quicker with the Hoosiers and Sunday I was 2.2 seconds quicker. I guess all it means is that the Hoosier compound was working better for me that weekend. Does anyone know if Hoosier and/or Goodyear changed their rubber formula significantly over the last year? Last season the tires performed nearly identical. Anyone with similar experiences? Bill P. |

Is a race slick softer than a DOT autox tire like a Kumho? Anyone know?
The autox tire is made to heat up quick but how do they compare? OK the slick has more contact with the road but if you look a the specs of each tire they are about the same width. Paul |
