FWIW that's not actually a slick though, it's a DOT-R tire...

If they're slicks I can't afford the points to run them. It will put me in another class. Price is good. I think I've found a new secret weapon in a DOT tire. I'll know for sure after testing another set which will be complete May 16th. If you guys are good I might tell you about them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

If you are refferring to the new shit hot tire in SM and other classes they are supposedly the best cold but they get greasy when hot. DOT-R means Department of Transportation certified street tire in a race compound. They stick like hell and wear like hell also. |

No, I'm talking about a DOT tire by a major brand that no one I've talked to around here seems to know anything about. I ran a set this past weekend, and am going to use another at the next two events.
Ouch! Okay since you twisted my arm, I'm talking about Goodyear GS-CS. I really like how they felt at Willow Springs last weekend. After the second set I should know about life expectency but based on the first set that is not yet worn out they should last as long or longer than Hoosiers. I'll let you know. Oh, and for JP, they aren't cheap but are only about $10 more per tire than Hoosier 04's. |

I doubt that they come stock on anything. Look just like the 04 Hoosier, no tread except two grooves. Stick like snot to your finger. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
