[Fot] Hoosier Speedsters for a TR3 Question

[Bill Babcock]

I”m talking about the front of course, since Peyote is also solid rear axle. It’a possible to get camber with a solid axle, but I’ve never gone to that degree of trouble since i sometimes have to go back to Dunlops. The Speedsters are kind of semi-radial, at least that’s how they respond to camber. I get the best tire temps at about two degrees and the best wear patterns too. 

As far as 185/205 goes, I don’t know what fits on a TR3. Might be a squeeze to get 205’s in. I haven’t seen any significant difference in lap times between the two, but I never measured head to head.
