Since we are on the subject of tires, I have to share this with you. I've
been on Kumhos for a while and I liked their grip and wear. Lately, I've
been hearing about how great Hoosiers are. So, I figured I'd give them a
try. Plus, that must be why Bob Tunnell is 2 seconds faster than me, right?
:)
Well I must say, they feel much better and my lap times are considerably
better than with Kumhos. But let me tell you about wear. I put a brand new
set on for the ProSolo. I did a total of 6 runs on each side which amounts
to about 6 one minute laps. Then I went to the NASA autox on Sunday. After
2 laps, the front left tire was pealing completely from the edge of the tire
towards the center.
That's a total of 8 minutes folks. Yeah, I know ProSolo starts are harder
on the tires, but I'm talking about the front tire here. So, what gives?
Are they all like that, or did I get a bad batch?
