Couple months back i ended up with a pile of free 285 hoosier a6. as luck would have it they werent cycled out.

Car was a lot of fun on them, was a but worried about the car being too soft to really utilize the grip (eibach prokit) but it all worked out fine.

The old running joke years ago was to build a Street Touring car, you take a fast Stock car on Hoosiers, and sink $10 grand into it just to make it slower.

That was pretty impressive. I really need to blow through my garbage factory tires to have an excuse to buy a square set up with some good stick. I won't be going as extreme as Hoosiers though, as I'm thinking PSS since this car is my daily.

Wow that looks like a blast with those tires.

Out of curiosity, did you have the G force gauge active with those tires on?

I'd be curious if we could pull 1.2 G or more with tires like that!

I'm sure in some transients he's hitting well over 1.2G. I've hit up to 1.14 G on a couple hard transients on the RE050A's, though .95-.97 G is about the best I can carry on long, steady sweepers. I should add in that I'm not really sure how accurate the G meter in the car is, but those G's I'm hitting on sweepers are right there with magazine skid pad testing, so it may be pretty accurate. The Hoosiers should really blow the numbers of the RE050A out of the water in a huge way.

I dont run the gmeter or look at the speedo, caring about either number without legitimate data analysis is only a hinderance.

The g-meter is useless with how long it holds peak numbers for. I dont have time to look down and by the time i can it has cleared.

Not sure how accurate it is anyways, was more just a curiosity to compare the numbers. Like if with stock tires you peak at .95 and with the hoosiers you see 1.2 or something.

I'm betting that's not too far off.
