This is my first autocross season using the Hoosier A6. Basically, given my
street-friendly suspension settings, I get more 'roll' on outside edge of the tires and after 8 days I figured I should flip them over if for no other reason than to avoid early cording at the edge. So, I did that and just did the first autocross, and they at first seemed terribly slippery (although the morning was kinda cold) and even by the end of the day still not as good as before. My times were off compared to others. I was told by a 'seasoned' guy I know there that it will take time to get them scrubbed in going the other way. Is this to be expected? Now that I think about it, across the whole tire the wear was not even (it gets a bit wavy), so flipping them must also put less rubber down to the pavement initially. Thanks for opinions. |

Mark,
Since you flipped the tires, did you mess with air pressure at all? That last wear pic looks under inflated. The outside edges and sidewall are bearing the brunt but the center is "shiny". Shane, I bet your cording is due to a couple of things. If the rear isn't towed out, I think that the (rear) sway bar might be causing the inside tire to drag slightly. On the fronts, it sounds like you need more camber. Then again, I'm not a big autocross guy so I should keep my big mouth shut. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
