Hoosier releases new RR tire for LM racing, and it's even wider.

[84wedge]

Taller, softer sidewall. Molded tread pattern.

Provides more side bite. That's exactly these cars need.

I have lost faith in the leaders of WoO, Lucas and Hoosier tire thinking this is a good idea.

And they will be available to every team on an equal timeline! Doubtful but we will see.

Supposedly guys had them at Wheatland, but was not allowed to run them. So there goes that.

Davenport complaining about having to buy tires is kind of funny though. I'm glad he said it, I don't think he has to worry about a tire bill though.

I went to the drivers meeting and they said they were not allowing them, because they were not available to everyone yet. I think that is certainly fair.

Pierce said with more sidebite the cars that needed a cushion might be faster in the middle of the track now. Sounds like this tire was tailor made to get Rocket back in the thick of things.

It's not fair, it's stupid. This tire should have been produced from the to get go. We are gonna be painting tires again and just complicating the tire tech process.

So are more regional guys using American Racer? Is Davenport right about Hoosier trying to compete with them?

This is why you’re not taken seriously.

It's always about Rocket isn't it.

The American Racer was better, where both were allowed. Yes, that's why this tire now exists.

and yet here you are............

Probably not, since their front end is what sucks
