So speaking with Jeff K last night we were talking about tires. I mentioned what my plans were and talked a little about contigencies. I asked what his thought were on tires for prepared classes. This is direct from him
In my experience, the Goodyear is the fastest tire out there. The Avon is second and Hoosier is third. I use to be a contract driver with Hoosier but after doing much testing I found Goodyear to be better and willing to do what it takes to change. So for my class I will be going with Goodyear. What are your thoughts on this? |

Why does everything have to be an argument with you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
This was more about what others have experienced. Jeff is one guy who drives a lot and has tried many different types of tires. Grant, Bret and Mark added good info on what they have seen and what they have experienced. That is what I want to hear. I have only run Hoosiers and Kumhos on a 914 so I can only speak to those. I was very impressed by the difference from the V710 to the A6. But to find that in someone's opinion that the A6 isn't even that great is very interesting to me and I can't wait to try something else out. I know you have a lot of experience on the Cantis. It will be interesting to hear how Britain like the Hoosiers. |
