absolutely no 1 is offerin a raceable 13" tire. u can get like 175/70/13 but that wont cut it fer racin. we gotta go to racin tires aint no choise

I am still surprised that there are still diehard race tracks that do not allow race tires on any car. There are not any real good street tires out there that are good race tires that are any cheaper than a good set of spec race tires from Hoosier, Am racer or goodyear. Do the math and you will find it out for your self. Now if you are running a totally stock hornet class, then run what you can find in the bone yard. If you are driving a real race car, you need race tires both for safety and performance, and it will not break your bank.

Hey, I did not say street tires dont work, I just said they are not that much cheaper than race tires. It is also hard to find good stagger with streets when you have to run the same tire on all four corners as some stock rules call for. It is also hard to find a good 8" wide 13" street tire. I just think race promoters ought to look into the tire rules they impose on us without looking at the cost factors. They really are not that much different, unless you use old used bone yard rags.

Well here's whats up. The track i'm normally run at has a Hoosier tire rule. The promoter of the track also promotes another track about 40 miles from the one I run at that runs mini stocks but that track is on radial tires an the promoter is thinking of putting them on Hoosiers. Well there is a 3rd track opening up within 20 miles from home an gonna run mini's as well. But that track is looking at possibly running radials. I'm just looking from brands in 13" which is easy to get ahold of.....My question is what do these radials cost compaired to $117.00 Hoosiers.

[boportt]

there are NO companis making a 13" radial thatll work 4 racing we ran 205/60/13 sumitomos that r 8" wide and only cost $48 we shaved them rites lasted all year lefts 3 yrs no problem but they aint made no more them fkrs.

i would like to know where your getting a Hoosier for 117 anywhere local here are 150+

[boportt]

dirt or asphalt?

[steveshawjr]

in run on the dirt

[b_jackson98]

their dirt tires....dasco race supply in Indiana

[b_jackson98]

who ever is chargin $150 is really puttin the screws to you guys.....they know if you want to race you'll pay their price......so does the track get the kick back off the difference.....the guy I buy mine from said he makes $20.00 a tire off them.....looks to me your guy is at least $60.00 a tire higher....these are Hoosier tires to.....

[steveshawjr]

he dose mark em up pretty good because he knows he can. its over 300miles to find the next dealer

[return to dirt]

are you getting them from pete bicknell at bicknell racing?

olin

[steveshawjr]

thats where they come from because he is the main dealer but our local shop get them from him than marks them up even more.

[return to dirt]

couldn't you have bicknell ship them to you? hoosier west only charges like $10 a tire for shipping.

[b_jackson98]

so where are you guys located at....would it be worth it to drive an get them to keep from paying the markup....sounds to me some one needs to start sellin them to be the competitions to get the price down............is that guy the track promoters brother or something

[steveshawjr]

its worth the drive if i buy 4 or more at a time but not whn i only need 1 or 2 kinda sucks im about 4 hrs away fro mthe main deal ... this guys just a local speed shop . did some digging he only makes about 5 bux a tire buy the time taxes are done. up here in canada there an envormentel tire fee thats 30 bux itself
