Hoosier 225/50/R16 New - LotusTalk

I want to move these 2 tires. With my lowered suspension with the Ohlins these are just a tad too wide and will hit the wheel well liners.
Tirerack sells them for $212 each.

PM with a reasonable offer. You pay the freight. In Chicago area so if local, can pick them up.

are these a6 or r6 hoosiers?

Are you sure they are 50s? They might be too tall for most (all) Elises...

Yep. they are 50's. I have my car so low that they would scrub at full wheel lock if I left them on.

R6 (35 compound) The difference is that an A6 is an R25 (softer) compound according to the Hoosier rep. An A6 can be used for road racing and will stick better than an R6 they just won't last as long. I run R35 and R25 on our Diasio and there is a big difference in grip and wear between the two.
