- I've got a '58 A-H 948cc sprite racer I bought 8/98 with a bad set of Hoosier 170/50/13 bias tires on it (car is an old Midwest Council car that hasn't been raced in years). In 9/98 @ Elkhart Lake Vi

- My own preferred setup is to use bias ply racing tires on cars like yours. I ran them on my '61 midget with great results. The bottom line difference between bais ply racing tires and radial tires is

- I put some Hoosiers(bias) on my spec racer one to run a 6 hour enduro. I usually run Yokohama's and boy what a difference. Those Hoosiers will send you a telegram and wait for a reply before doing an
