I was looking on the Hoosier web site. Their 9 X 23 X
15 slick's softest compound is R45, while in other sizes, softer compounds are available (R25). I'm thinkin' that softer is better for AX where wear isn't the problem, but lack of heat build-up is. So.......I was also looking at their rain tires....humm, no compound listed, nor could I find any futher specs on em'. Anybody used these buggers?....I'll also take SWAGs. My knowledge of rain tires is limited to the fact that they overheat quickly in the dry.....this could be gud for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Hey JP,
I used the Hoosier slicks in the R45 compound for auto-x last year and the R210 Goodyears....I thought they were pretty close in stickiness...although I give the Goodyears the nod overall.... Goodyear does make an R270 compound that Bob Woodman Tires stocks. I just picked up a set to try. Overall, I must confess that I prefer the "feel" of the Hoosiers, they seem more linear before they let go and seem to wear more consistent... But the Goodyears stuck good enough to get me up on 2 WHEELS at an auto-x late last year.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) that was rather exciting... God I hope they bring back the R210's!
