All Righty! I'm shifting to the other tire manufacturer for the VIR race this coming weekend, and I need some advice.

I discovered a hole in the tread of one of my Kumho 710's, and they are on backorder so I needed to get a replacement el pronto. I found a set of Hooisers and I have no idea of their characteristics, but, first off, I need to start with the correct pressures.

Thanks!

I can sell you a single K710
315/17"

just haaaaaaaad to copy me didnt you.

oh, and from what i've been reading, i'm going to start somewhere around 33/32 F/R give or take a few psi.

It's my only possible way for me to stay on the same lap as you. You, Kaiser and Cates will take off and I won't see ya'll again until you're on the podium.

my car runs 33/32 50-70* day and ends 40-41 front and rear end the same hot. Works well great tires.

Hey Jody, Bob and I both run Hoosier R6s.

Cold 27 to 33

Hot 38 to 43

Care for R 6

I run 32/30 cold, so right in the ball park with everyone else.

After a practice session or two, you'll have them dialed in

Ive run anywhere from 28-31 cold...and many combos front/rear.

CHJ In Virginia

Cold days 32 F / 30 R Hot days > 80 DEG 30 F / 28 R and end up with pressures about 40-41 PSI after a 30 minute session.

Hey Jody, be careful, them tares take more pressure than them Kumos.

We have always run them around 30 psi cold in the past. However, toward the end of 2006 season we were told of Hoosier tests where they got improved performance with less pressure. We are now running around 20 psi cold. I know some are running a little less than that. If you are running at VIR this weekend, talk to Craig Gelston. He will be in the red and blue C4 that wins ST1!

Ding, we have a winner!!!

Most T-1 folks run 24F, 20R cold. Good luck, Jody.

That I would like to see. Apart from performance I would like to see how long they last with those pressures.

Hey. I resemble this thread's subject.

I am giving you a speed secret on the direction you need to go to be fast. We are talking about racing here. You are free to believe and do what ever you like.

whosurdaddy

So, if one can be faster with lower tire pressues on Hoosiers - could this also be the case with street tires?

0Vector Vette

I have no idea. I race on the best DOT race tires made, Hoosier.

BAD PNY

They last just fine. The funny part is that is the high side of cold pressure's for most T1 guys. If I really told ya where we start you would be shocked. At the National level no one care's about anything other then winning. Giving up time is the kiss of death

John Shiels

Never lasted for me at Pocono shoulders are gone in real short order. Granted when your racing you can dump them after a 40 minute race. I still never liked the handling low especially on the banking. To each their own.

gonzalezfj

Never had trouble with the shoulders using R6 or A6, John.

There was a generation of Hoosiers (about 3-4 years ago) that were prone to edge wear, but those days are long gone now.

A6/R6 tires like 2.5 to 3.5 degrees of negative camber up front and about 2 to 2.5 rear.
