Hi,

If anyone out there is running the "new design" C9000 (I think that's what 
they're called) Hoosier bias-ply slicks, I'd be most interested in sharing 
setup information.

I put a set of the previous style Hossier slicks on a couple years ago, 
and I felt like my times were off by a second or so from when I ran 
Goodyear bias slicks (cantelever).

My "consultant" thinks I should switch to radial slicks. Umm, no. That 
means buying 8 10" wide rims. I already have a stack of 7"... plus the 
settings are totally different than bias so I'd have to buy drys and 
rains...

My big problem is that the input is very vague and you have to more or 
less slide the car everywhere. I lose tons of times getting the car to 
take a set. The GY's were INSTANT when you turned in. No slidey thing 
going on at all unless you were very, very far out of shape.

My brakes suck too, perhaps that's the bigger part of the equation and 
I'll look into that. But these tires are not to my liking at the present.

regards,
rml
