Kumho vs Hoosier

[BobDixon]

Since the season is beginning to wrap up I was just curious how the new Hoosiers stack up against the ol V710.

Bob,

The Hoosier A6's are a little bit quicker, 0.2 - 0.4 secs on a 60 second course on Topeka pavement.

Turn in is better on the A6's, and braking grip is improved over older versions of the Hoosiers. Wear is better too, but still not as good as V710's. 40 odd runs before cording on a camber challenged Mini (more runs if not driven hard, and the tires are flipped). About 1/2 of what we see on V710's.

The Hoosiers are also substantially more expensive.

Some drivers are having success running R6's on the rear in FWD cars.

Most people I've talked to like the A6 better... but not for it's price.
