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? |

You asked for "thoughts" and got em'......then defended your own conclusions in response.
That has the makings of an argument. I've had many "discussions" about tires with many folks but it's tough to have a discussion with you because all your experience with slicks is hearsay. I ran cantis in front only ( tho you prolly didn't notice) as the alternatives are few. With the freebies & some other input, things have changed.....hopefully for the better. It came down to "they can't be can't worse but maybe much better." I don't think Brit is married to any tire, but when you buy some you are ....till they wear out. |

I've had many "discussions" about tires with many folks but it's tough to have a discussion with you because all your experience with slicks is hearsay. I defended the driver and his opinion after you attacked his feedback. That's all. This is the issue I have with your comments JP. You always try to attack the person that has an opinion that differs from yours. I think some of your input is very good but then I don't agree with all of it. I'm not going to bash you on what I don't agree on because I don't think it is polite to do when someone is simply giving feedback on their experience. Experience can save thousands of dollars and for most of us that is BIG. |
