R35 Hoosiers. On a warm day, they get hot...even on our low traction surface.
I need to pay more attention to them as they heat cycle out long before they loose
"tread". I've "discovered" tire treatments.

I thought you were still running the Hoosiers. In the tail dragger, Randal and I are running GY R250 compounds and barely getting any heat in them at all. I'm wondering if I try the Hoosiers for AX. A tad softer sidewall and maybe they scrub more heat into them.

Of course, I don't plan on running the 911 much in AX's anymore, but we'll trot it out if you show up with your car. BTW, if you're down for a visit to the Bay Aear without your car, your welcome to drive Fritz.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

Hoosier makes 2 tires in R25, but they are designed for Formula Atlantic cars and I've been told they are not stout enuff for a "heavy" car.

Going to the narrower front wheels & tiars was the best thing I've done lately.
They heat up much better than the biguns' and stick better.
It's made me faster if only because it's easier to drive.

Well I have 47 runs on my R25 FA slicks. so far so good They certainly will not put up with any abuse. They do reward the smooth driver with awesome grip andseem to handle heat to 150 degrees and did not get greasey with 2 drivers pulling FTD level runs.
