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? |

Had to chime in again-
Our current set of bias ply hoosiers are really starting to drop off at 25 runs.Really sucks! Contemplating the radials AGAIN. Probably going to get 275-35-15 A6 with contingency winnings. Probably going to buy a set of Good Years in the 210 compound at $463.00 EACH to go on the 16's. Have to get my handling back before I'll test either. JJackson (BTW-Spears @ Hoosier says that the new tire is significantly better handling and longevity.) Currently don't want to change gears to run the 25" tall tire possibilities. |
