QUOTE My first event on these tires is this Sunday. I'll report what I find if anyone's interested I'm interested! I found the same thing with Goodyears, i.e., you have to get them warmed up before they start to really stick, but all my tires were old, so maybe tires with no heat cycles would work better. I've got my order in now with Roger Krause for the Hoosiers. About the only negative I've been able to secure is that the sidewalls aren't as stiff and maybe they don't wear as well as the Goodyears. But it's nice to get the 35 compound, which is equivalent of the Goodyear 210's which you can't get anymore. |
