olex race weekend was equally disappointing. Hoosier sent a third set, no c=
harge. This set was excellent. This event is the only one that I have to r=
un bias-ply race tires. I've heard from other racers that the much more exp=
ensive Dunlops are even worst. Hoosier did not request the bad sets be sent=
back. I have since remounted a couple of lower "road force" numbered tires=
and they are good now. So with some wear, they did get better. =20
