Front tire life?

Front end is tight, alignment is good, minimal toe change, car goes and brakes nice and straight.

George I have found that Hoosiers on the front look great, but just aren't as long lived as say some others, I know you are not doing Scotty style man dumps every run with yours, so here is my experiences with the fleet:

Dragpak has the hoosiers 28's, I think they are very light, but compared to the Morroso's 7.10's I have on the dakota, the dart and the challenger, which are run till their bald, the hoosiers maybe have a thinner side wall? They are fine, but just don't have that hearty look. The Gremlin runs the small Moroso 24's D-2's and they will need to be replaced 6 or so seasons(but I may scrub a tenth at the 60 foot mark from time to time), rear slicks, hmm thats every 8 years or so. The Nova also has hoosier fronts, and I think they will last forever, I wonder if its a total front weight thing. Depending upon what rollout you need, you could try another brand. Pressure may be impacting your life as well, I run 40 in most everything. Eric
