I would love to set you up with some hoosiers and I am a proud supplier of Hoosiers. The problem is I am setup through Hoosier West. They really don't like it if I cross lines into other Hoosier areas. I CAN do it occasionally but the shipping becomes much more expensive.

I'll call Hoosier and see if I can somehow get setup in the other regions as well.

Will follow up soon. Thanks, Mike

That's cool, I understand about boundry lines. IF you can do something, great. Like you said though, shipping might be a factor over what I can get them for here. But let me know.

Yeah that's frustrating. Being a small business owner in competition with tire rack is tough. In the West, however I can compete with their prices and mine come directly from Hoosier. Plus customer service is #1 with my company. You can even call me from the track to ask about tire pressures etc. Same for the Michelin Pilot Racing Slicks. I am extremely proud to have that account as well. It's very difficult to get that account. The Pilot slicks I can ship anywhere and good rates too.

I have some really nice documentation/pdf files from Michelin that shows you how to setup your suspension and camber based on the pyrometer temp readings. High quality stuff.

I need to start offering some pyrometers on my site and on the forums.

After speaking with Danny Popp last night about slicks I was reminded that Tommy Archer ran these on his overall winning Ultimate Track Car Challenge last year.

Hmm, if I didn't have a new set of Toyo R888's, I'd give these a shot. Hope you have these slicks still in 6 months or so as I'd like a set!

For maximum grip and handling, Bowmanized is proud to to announce the Michelin Pilot Racing Slick is available for track domination. These come in multiple compounds so we'll have to discuss the track and ambient air temps you're expecting.. Full Soft and Medium Soft are available. Generally the full soft best when AMBIENT air temps are 70 or under. Medium Soft is for 70-90 degrees fahrenheit. Available in sizes that are made for 18x11 and 18x13.

Please contact me if you're interested or have any questions.


  1. Benefits:
  2. Quick, consistent lap times from the 1st lap to the checkered flag
  3. Predictable handling for both professional and amateur driving
  4. Excellent front/rear handling balance
  5. Quick turn-in and high levels of steady-state cornering
  6. Consistent quality found in every Michelin tire


  7. Features:
  8. Tire architecture and tread compounding developed through Michelin's motorsport programs
  9. Precise sizing and tire profile developed through professional racing series applications

Mike, Can you PM me a quote for the Michelin Pilot SX S8A 27/65/18 and 27/68/18 tires for my CCW 18x11 and 18x12 wheels shipped to 22030? I've been using Hoosier R6 315 and 335 tires, which are great, but I would like to try these for a season. Thanks, Mike
