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. |

man, my 10 year old V710's still look new! I really need to spring for new tires..next year.
I will try some tire softener in the near term, can't hurt. I am trying to wear these tires out..can't do it... |
