Hoosier A6 was designed to be a Auto-x tire, but all the fastest road racers are running them in classes that require a "DOT" approved rating.

250 bucks for the pair, I can get any other size tire that will match this (Newer build date maybe). But at a "new" price. There isn't much mark up on tires, but I will give you a good deal on them. Location three miles south of Hanover MN.

Any questions let me know.

Hi Randy,

315 or 335. It's a pretty good setup. Keeps the front end low without slamming the suspension and with the taller rear tire adds some rake into the car. They are a short-fat tire.


ABS approved also, no question about that.
