David,

You have discovered a great truth...

Racing is the application of cubic dollars.

;)

I've found nothing better than the Hoosiers.

I your alignments ae right, air pressures are right, and you don't flat spot
them, you should get 4+ races out of them.

WST

Okay, I9ll start the winter questioning off with the tire question. Here on
the left coast it seems most Spridget racers are using Hoosier Street TD
bias ply tires in the 185x60x13 size. I need a new set of tires before
spring so I was wondering what other folks are using. The Hoosiers are a bit
on the expensive side and don9t last as long as the old BFG R1s I used to be
able to get. I do like the Hoosiers handling characteristics though. Other
thoughts or recommendations? I usually run 7 to 10 events a year.

Thanks!
