Cheap Hoosiers

Hoosier is selling off their inventory of the old compound, at 40% off.

Yes, They will be tight though. What size torsion bars do you have?

Cheers, James

Jack,

Thanks for the VERY TIMELY heads-up! It's not everyday one can save $325++ on a set of great tires.

As of this AM, they still have some left in 16", 17", and 18" diameters.

I read somewhere that Tirerack bought a bunch of them, and are offering them at the same prices. I haven't conformed it, but it might be a way to get sizes that disappear from Hoosier's inventory.

($550 for a set of 315/255x17's is pretty awesome.)

I woke up early today for this sale..... Early for me...

My 6:00am call got me 2 of the 5 remaining 315/35x17's along with some 275/40x17 fronts.

Sweet deal compared to the new, cordable R3S04's I'm running now.

Just checked the site and it looks like they only have 1 315/35x17 remaining....

Must have been your order Jack that finished off the 315 pairs.

Don't delay, they're going fast. I just tried to get some 225/15s and they are gone.

I've confirmed it, Tire rack is matching the prices so check them too.

I thought about getting a set, but I'm not ready for Hoosiers yet. First off, I still drive my car to the track.

You save enough on the set of tires to pay for the roof rack.

I drive my car 300 miles to some tracks on Hoosiers. Thats why they are DOT rated.

So put the top down, and build a rack that attaches to the rollbar. Jeez, I thought you of all people would show some ingenuity here!
