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, 07:37 PM) After seeing the picture of JP's car, I don't think I will believe you AX guys when you say your tires don't really get very hot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That was part of the problem. It was a cool foggy morning and them R3S03s like "some" heat. After my 5th run, I could lay my hand on em' and feel they were warm. The 6th run was best...traction wise....the sun was coming out. Highest temps I've measured was 135 at the rear on a 90 deg day last summer. Guys in the second session had warm asphalt and it showed in their times.....gud excuse # 437 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) 12 events, eh? that sux. I have prolly close to 200 passes on these Hoosiers and 150 minutes of track time. I'm told the new R3S04s are softer ....so the first run isn't a throwaway. Dunno bout longevity. |
