The Hoosiers I ran last year lasted a long time. All the way through
Nationals and a few events after. I still have them, too (but I'm on
3rd
generation autocross compund). As with anything, they do require
proper care and feeding, as Mark Sipe pointed out. Same goes for BFGs.
It seems no one makes a rain tire (read deep tread) any more
(if they only made dirt stockers in a 17"). One final thing to clear
up,
Hoosier pays contingency with tires, not cash. However, I thought BFG
was still paying cash to their winners.
