I've heard that Hoosiers begin to lose grip when they reach a certain
age. Has anyone experienced this for sure? I've got a set of the bias
ply Street TD's, and lately they just don't seem to have the traction
they used to. Being Street TD's, I've gotten probably 80+ runs out of
them and they still have a bit of tread left. The most noticeably loss
of traction is under heavy braking. They're just more prone to locking
up than they used to be.
Not that I'm complaining. I couldn't be happier with the life I've
gotten out of these tires, but I need to know if there is the definite
possibility that the tires may be losing grip before they "wear out".
Otherwise, I must be getting sloppy with the brake pedal! Thanks.
