    Default New Hoosiers are ready to ship

    The National Championship winning Hoosiers are ready to ship. I have listed the model numbers and sizes of the new constructed tires. Setup changes from the Goodyear tires for us are as follows: Front - 1-1.2 degree negative camber 19-22 lbs hot pressure....Rear - .2-.5 negative(that's right) camber and below 19 hot pressures. Tires can be flipped inside to outside for longer use.

    43163 20.5X7X13 A2500 R25
    43292 22.0X9X13 A2500 R35
    43311 22.5X9X13 A2500 R35

    Hoosier fully supports SCCA club racing with full contingencies at each event and championship awards.

    Default Additional information

    The Hoosier front tires are taller than the GYs and the Hoosier 22.0 are shorter than the GYs but the Hoosier 22.5 are almost identical to the GYs. Set your ride heights accordingly..

    Furthermore, where the GYs will pickup understeer towards then end of a race the Hoosiers will start to oversteer. I had always set my car up to be initially loose for the GYs and have found a little bit of understeer at the start of race puts the Hoosiers about neutral for the last half of a race.

    Default Negative camber

    Good question...We found this out by mistake. I asked Hoosier why did the tire exhibit so much more side bite mid turn with the tires laid in and they mention something about the A2500 being a hybrid tire. The way they lay the belts down, the sidewall construction or something like that...
