There was a bit of humidity on the road so I had to take care on high speed and had to avoid revving over 4.500rpms, with my Hoosier dot tires is not advisable to challenge the luck on a non perfectly dry tarmac...

Nice car chap. Do hoosiers have steel reinforcement?

Nop, they have no steel reinforcements, that's why they're so lightweight.

Veeeery good tires thhough, on dry tarmac and when properly warmed up.

^ I thought so, they may get punctured very easily then. I was going to use them some years ago on one of my cars because they're so sticky.

Well, this is the second set of Hoosiers I use on this car, the first ones lasted over a couple of thousands miles and they've never got punctured...these new ones have about a thousand miles on the clock and they're still like ''new''...

That sounds pretty good. Do they go a bit square when the car's been parked for a while? How much tread do they have when new? A friends racer used them. They were mega sticky but there wasn't a lot of tread depth and they did go square. Went round after a short drive though smile

Tread is not very deep, they get a bit squared if not run for a week or so, but they go back perfectly round after a few miles.

These tires have surely cons but they're a hell good rubber if you drive hard on good dry tarmac.
