    Default "Wrong Compound" Hoosier FF rears, who wants them?

    I've got a pair of the "wrong compound" FF rears that Hoosier made a few months ago (they were supposed to be R20). I've tried giving them away, but no racers in my area want them.

    Does anyone out there have any use for them? I will sell them for the cost of shipping.

    Got an email from Hoosier, they want the defective tires back. I presume all buyers of the defective tires will be contacted.

    Are these R60 Club Ford (Bias Ply) or R60 Formula Ford (Radial) tires?

    Bias Ply...Marked "R20" but are reported as "A7" which I understand is "R60". Specifically:

    We have been informed from Hoosier Corporate that the engineers mistakenly used the A7 compound (which is a harder compound) and not the R20 compound (softer compound).

    It sounds like Hoosier wants them back. If that's not the case, I'd be happy to give a few sets a home.
