waht about the new Hoosier A6 ..... well
the news is in ....
the new Hoosier has hit the mark .... out of the box the A6 was about .7 seconds faster than the 710 on a 46.xxx second course ... the initial reports of better forward bite and turn in along with better lateral grip has made the A6 the tire to beat. The only thing still in question is how they wear on a hot course which we should find out in the coming weeks since many venues are starting to see a lot of heat

Are you sure ?????
I just ran them on asphalt this weekend and they didn't suck. They felt pretty good, but only made two runs on them. Two on Kumhos ,two on A6's . We had some handling issues on the crazy SM2 car. I will formulate my own data within the next couple of weeks.............I don't believe anyone elses, I've been lied to , too many times before or someone wasn't as careful as need be with their data. Hopefully Hoosier has their SHIET together this time, I'd rather run on American made tires
However I will run on what is fastest..........Unfortuneatly for the next two weekend we will be using national events as test-n-tunes

What ambient and track temperatures?
What tire pressures?

I'd really like some substantive data...so far, I'm really liking the idea of running a set of the A6's. Yeah, they're American, which is a good thing, but they also are much better sizes for the Z06 in SS
