is done for tires in "wet" conditions? I have the Hoosier TD's now>>
My experience is that the Hoosier TD's are awful, if not outright
dangerous, in the wet. I don't know if it is the compound or the tread
pattern or both, but they are not good in anything more than a damp
condition. The really trick wet set-up is to use Hoosier "dirt track" tires.
They are the tires that the midget racers us on the front of their cars.
They are super soft with a very open tread pattern. Another option is to
mount a set of high performance street radials with good wet weather
performance and full tread depth (not shaved for racing).
And like they used to say on "Hill Street Blues" -- Be careful out there!
