As part of a deal for my new 914 I was offered a set of used Hoosier on steel rims. The current owner of my car used them once (so he says) for one Auto X. What do you think there value would be??? I never Auto X before but it is something I would like try. what do you think?

What also kills tires is "heat cycles". If the runs are slow and no heat is generated-it is less damaging than if you drove several very hot runs. Heat is the killer.
And Hoosiers also breakdown from UV more than orhers I've found. The sidewalls start to crack. Thats why you see guys putting them in plastic garbage bags to store them. There is an additive they put in the tire compound that protects the tire from UV rays. That why trailer tires can sit outside without cracking. But Hoosier doen't put it thier tires. Paul |
