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) |

I use Toyo Proxes RA1 on the 2.0. Sticky, seem to wear well (for a 40 treadwear rating). Huts the thumbs, elbows and such and ride like shit.
Putting the street 195/65 15's back on turns the car into a little limo. No kickback, 3.2K rather than 4K rpm to run with freeway traffic. And they hang the tail out better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) May run them at the next short track event just to see how much difference they really make. |
