Hoosier Wets
If any of you have run Hoosier Wets at the track can you give me an idea of what tire pressure you were/are using? The web site says 5 lbs higher than normal but since they are DOT is that 5 lbs higher than A3S04's or 05's or is that 5lbs higher than the 32 you run on your normal street tires.
Thanks for the help.

all of the guys who actually run the wets are too busy with their once a year argument. maybe they'll be kind enough to share their experience with you................... when their done.

Many ppl also think unless you are involved in a W2W championship fight then running in the rain is not worth the risk.
Just run your street wheels and tires and slow way down.

Hey Schwamy, I'd say that the recommendations are relative to the pressure you'd run in your DOT dry tires. That is if you run 30 in your A05's, try 35 in your Wets.
thanks for your thought and that is where I was going. It looks like the weather for Sunday's race will require the use of the wets and maybe a snow shovel. Hope the weather is better on your side of the state.
Good luck this weekend, kick butt.
