I'm running Hoosier R6's after
Toyo RA-1's and will never go
back. The RA-1's are great
tires but nowhere near as fast
as the Hoosiers

I run on Yoko A048 and would
say, after 2 or 3 laps they
wake up when on the
right pressure and last the
whole distance.
I know from a back to back
test of a team over here that
the Hoosiers
Speedsters does have a very
good peak grip for a couple of
laps but then the
tire don't seem to be usable
anymore. Maybe this heat cycle
theme.
The Yoko don't reach the grip
of the Hoosiers but is not
much away from it
but the tire does last for
ages.
I still run tires from 2008
and do very well on them
including two hours
Nordschleife two times.
I think I'll do the first two
race on them next year.

Cheers
Chris

Betreff: [Fot] 15" tires

Has anyone (the west coast
guys in particular due to
their more lax tire
rules), done any back to back
or meaningful tire testing /
observations
between Hoosier Speedsters /
Vintage TD's, Goodyear
Bluestreaks, or Yoko
A048's vs. tires such as Toyo
RA1's, and R888's, Hoosier
Street TD's, and /
or Kumho V700's?

I know from the SCCA world how
the A048's stack up against
the Toyo's and
Kumho's (slower and go away
after 2 laps).

Just curious..

Bob
