Or they'll actually come down in price a bit. But in reality, I doubt much changes.Originally posted by superstock79 View Post -
When a company acquires another it is never with a strategy to reduce revenue, i.e lower prices. Its about maximizing profits through better efficiency and synergy. Best you can hope for is prices don't increase. PS i know zip about the tire business.I hate time trials.Comment

Bet all the " slotting fee" and " wink wink " guys at the house of purple are a bit nervous.
In mergers things don't change much, in take overs or acquisitions , the folks getting acquired can probably expect some changes.
And hopefully , for the better.Where is the move over flag when you need it?????Comment

Continental Is growing fast .. I bet that hoosier is 3 times as big in just a few years.. Continental Wants to grow there racing end of racing tires and hoosier Is how they are going too do it...I go so far as too say you will see Hooriers at the 24 hours of At the beach in Fl. in just a few years...I think that Not only did they want there tire they wanted there Name...Hoosier by Continental,, I see Good thing coming from this....Comment

Continental is a good tire company. Hopefully it'll be for the better, but time will tell.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

Cardirt0 probably has never owned any Continental tires. My calling them mediocre was a compliment. He also has probably forgotten that Hoosier couldn't even compete with American Racer in the spec tire race market until they were forced to build spec tires with their comp tire compounds.Comment

Have had 2 sets Liked them both.. I think they are a good tires... Hoosier will not be the same tire now that they are owned by Continental...They will be making road racing tires soon... I go so far as too say that the Plant will be a lot bigger be for long....They did this cause it will help sell there tire in the USA...They are going after Goodyear...They did not Buy Hoosier cause they are good...They got them too make them good... And make them better...Witch makes them Bigger....Originally posted by jog49 View PostComment
