Wissota tire proposal

[late96]

Any opinions please. Most races 8-20 lap heats and 15-20 lap features.

Greetings Late Model Racer;

We have tested various late model tires and we have three tire option recommendations for you to consider for the 2015 season and beyond.

Please take the time to review the following three choices and choose the option that you would prefer.

It makes absolutely no difference to anyone of us which choice you prefer and regardless of the choice that we end up with, you will be allowed to run your current inventory out. There is no price difference in any of the choices.

Please state your preferred choice (1,2 or 3) and return it to me by return email ASAP and no later than October 31st. This is very important and a chance for you to give us your choice.

OPTION #1
1. ​ Hoosier 1450 allowed on all 4 corners with a D70 RR option. The 1450 is similar to our old 30 compound and has a cross block pattern. The D70 is our 35W modified rubber and tested very well as a late model tire.

​It is recommended by Hoosier that this option be no siping or grooving as it
​Is not needed for these tires. This option is the one recommended by Shanon
​of Hoosier Tire based on the testing and knowing our tracks and cars.

​You would be allowed to run out your current inventory.

OPTION #2
2.​ Hoosier 1450 allowed on all 4 corners with the WRS/WRS2 55 RR option.

​ It is recommended by Hoosier that this option be no siping or grooving on
​ any 1450s, but, you could sipe and groove the RR 55 option.

You would be allowed to run out your current inventory.

OPTION #3
3.​ Continue with the current tire and tire rule as is.



PLEASE SEND YOUR RETURN EMAIL STATING OPTION 1,2 OR 3—THANK YOU.

What is current tire rule?

[late96]

Wissota WRS2/55 able to groove and sipe

[powerslide]

What is wrong with the current rule?

[Brian Gray]

It's not selling enough tires .

This a f ck job in the making.

Sis sofa needs more tire money and Hoosier needs increased tire sales to support the sanction.

[Brian Gray]

Put everyone on 1300 s and let them ruin them as they choose.

Most of the complaints are once edge is off throw away. Some guys hardly get a 25 lap feature and "junk". At most maybe 2 nights.

yea our wissota tire the wrs is a plastic piece of synthetc crap but if they give us the crossblock pattern they need to let us sipe and groove cause the cross groove is very shallow they dont want us doing that but they just wanna sell tires wish wissota would let american racer in the door

[SLM98]

Just open it up to all d-55/1600/LM-40 tires. Lets you have the option on the tread pattern you want. groove and sipe as you please. The harder tire is an equilizer, and puts it more in the driver's hands. WE run them and have had success with buffing, and flipping. for the most part, the edges come back after being flipped. Even if you want to replace them, it allows the guys on a shoestring budget to run the same tires for a while. Biggest plus is still that it makes you work more on your setup and driving than putting a soft tire on it and hammer down.

any of the hard tires are going to suffer after a couple of heat cycles,just the way it is,we could get away with running the lf,lr,and the rf for a while but the rr 3-4 races at most,they would just give up to much time,i myself don't have a dog in the hunt but from a money saving stand point the 55/1600/lm40 would be the rule to have or just switch it to 1450's only so you don't have to have 2 different tires,and the 1450's will hold up to 30 lap races but hard tires are the way to save money,i love to watch the guys that put on new tires every week or two(we will buy there old tires for the rf,lr and lf and beat them with them in the crates)but the rr will have to be changed every 3-4 weeks
