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. |

Goodyear slicks hold air overnight....Hoosiers leak like a sieve and will be flat in the morning.....when heated up during the day they don' leak....only after cooling off. Don't trailer the car on the Hoosiers....switch to your rollers before loading...
