Tire talked prompted me to get an update from Hoosier. Not good news re: a
radial race tire we can use in Vintage, except they have produced a new
50-series radial for Spec Miata series. It's on their web site.

John,
At this time we are not going to offer a taller 15" competition radial, like a
P195/60ZR-15. We do offer a new steel belted competition radial, the R3S04,
but no plans at this time to offer a new size.
I appreciate the follow up email. Feel free to keep in contact by browsing our
website or email me next year.
Thanks again.

Jeff,
Earlier this year I e-mailed back and forth with you about the need in the
vintage racing groups for a 15" 60-series radial race tire in 195 or 205 size.
You spoke about the possibilties of adding a product like this to the Hoosier
line. I see that you have now launched a Spec Miata tire in a 50-series. While
this size might be acceptable to some of our race groups, vintage car gearing
really necessitates a 60-series tire. Any chance that Hoosier is closer to
what we need?
Thanks for your reply.
John Frymark
