I purchased the A3S03 Hoosiers last March. I ran about 12 events on them. I always drive them to the AX, but it's only 3-4 miles away. They are always stored in a dark unheated/cooled space.
Anyway, the tires just seem dead. Don't have their ol' get up and hold... Since they never get really hot at an AX, like they would at a track, I would think the lack of "heat cycling" would keep them lively until they're corded. Well, actually I just noticed that one has a dime size cord patch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Are they gone? Am I in denial?(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

QUOTE(drew365 @ Mar 29 2004, 09:37 PM) Personally, I don't like driving my car with Hoosiers just the two blocks from my garage to the trailer and I don't go over 25 mph. They're horrible to drive on the streets. Wears your arms out with steering corrections just idling down the neighborhood lane. Makes you feel like an old time racer! I actually do about two miles of old rough freeway at 60-70mph traveling to the AX site. With the Hoosiers, when you cross a concrete section, the car continually kinda suddenly jumps like it was tugged on by God, or someone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I just don't want to budget for the Hoosier boutique anymore. I need more play for my pay. I see some Kumho Victoracers in my future. I can take the 219.00 savings and go do a couple of track days! And still have more rubber left. Damn, I'm cheap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Any other tires to consider? |
