Default Hoosiers ROCK the massive Geees!

Just picked up my Hoosier A3S04s today from my sponsor. They were discounted because the newer A3S05s are coming out.

Went to scrub them in and heat cycle them this evening and WHOLLY crappie! I forget what stick DOT R tires are like So MUCH FUN!!!!

Can't wait to use them next Sunday.

Interesting. seems at the last nationals 95% were on the new Kumho 710. only folks on hoosiers were people who couldn't get the right size.

I only got them for Corvette and Porsche autocross events. I didn't want to spend $180 for fun tires $100/tire for DOT R tires is more my territory. Plus my car is 2100lbs'ish and the 710s reward cars that are heavier.

Tire srubbing gets the mold release compound off the tires. It's a protective coating that keeps the tires fresh and new since without it the tire will just dry out sitting on the shelves waiting to be purchased. And it helps get the tires out of the mold from factory. If you don't get this shiney part off the tires will be slippery if you use them for competition.
