As you know last year I found some definite traction deficiancies on the auto-x course as well as the drag strip. With the track day coming up in April and DSMCentral SCDC in May, I'd like to take lack of traction out of the equasion For a few runs this year.
There are newer/better Hoosier tires on the market now. So this means that the A3SO3's are less expensive. Back in 2003 or so I can find some good reviews. How good are they? Good enough? Anyone have any input on this? -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

QUOTE (awd4kicks @ Jan 28 2008, 09:28 PM) Either way it sounds like no road racing tire will be good for drag racing. I wonder where the big time DSM guys like Darryl and Sheperd get their Hoosier QuickTime Pros from? Drag only (QuickTime Pros) tires usally wringle on launch due to the soft sidewall design and low tire pressure, I would imagine that that soft sidewall would make a car feel REALLY BAD going around a turn and the tires rolls over on that sidewall. Roadcorse tires are the opposite arn't they, short stiff sidewall? Darryl can comment, but I beleive the tires on the car came with the car. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
