Options other than Hoosier?

[Brian Minkin]

I ran the Hankook equivalent of the Hoosier R6 last year.  They last a bit longer as far as heat cycles but they do get slippery towards the end of their life.  However even when brand new they do not stick like Hoosier's. Probably a 2 or 3 second lap difference at the Glen or Summit.  Now for me its a whole new ball game with the new car as I am running 18's and went into price shock when I visited Tire Rack's web site last night. At least I have two sets of track wheels now so I can heat cycle tires. Now I just need to train a pit crew to change wheels for me.
