[
Bill: 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. [/quote] 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) Bill P. |

QUOTE 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. I use the Formula Atlantic tires on my Autocross V8 914. Car weight 2100lbs with driver with 57% rearward weight bias. In '04 & '05 I used 23.5x12.0-15 rear and 22.5x9.0-15 front. This year I went to a new rear size 23.5x11.0-15. All in R25 compound, C3000. I have had good results with these. On Sunday @ 77° day on sealed asphalt I was seeing 110° to 125° tire temps. J. P. what pressures are you running? Mike T |
