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? |

Hoosier has supported autox for a long time now-I really appreciate their product.
Ran Good Year cantilevers a long time ago- and had trouble finding tires several times- Have also experienced similar frustrations with Hoosiers. Mounting up a new set of Hoosiers for Nats now.The previous two sets, were also contingency tires.This year we have a tire budget of $0.00.Contingency is cool! That being said,we have had more $4000.00 tire budget years than not. Jeff K-fastest fendered mod in the country-Good Year John T-fastest prepared car in the country last year-Hoosier Mounting up a free set-=Hoosiers are faster! JJackson |
