Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
A quick stroll down the lanes should answer that question .
Hoosier is the dominant tire . Looks from your avatar you might have bought Ray Fordyce's car . I know he always ran Goodyears , and did well with them. I've always found the Hoosier sidewall to outlive the Goodyear by a bunch .

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
Hoosiers have the reputation of lasting for years, and giving consistent traction almost until the cords show.

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
Used to run Goodyears for the longest time, got a pair of Hoosiers from Craig Porter back in 2007 or 08 and the 1st run it wanted to rip my head off coming out of the waterbox and they had 60 or so run on them at the time. Finally got a new pair in 2009 and they lasted almost 200 runs (I know that's a little too long) and the sidewall started to act like Jello but, the car was still pretty consistent before we bought a new pair in July of this year and won the 1st race out. Plus for all the D1 racers out there Roy at Hoosier is one of the best to deal with for tires. Don't think I will go back to Goodyears

Re: Goodyear or Hoosier ???
Jeff, that car treated Ray well and visa versa.
Not as fast as some ,but deadly consistant.....Ray could throw a .90 at you every time you ran him. Welcome to Super Gas !
