in the miata, I ran ten till the fabric cords was all that was left.
Have not tried them on the lotus yet, but I would imagine wear is similar... Fronts lasting longer of corse...
As far as "heat cycle" is concerned, how many of you agree that yes a tires grip degrades as it cycles. But when you are just lapping, you care mainly about longevity... "how many days".
I am of the latter.
I have a friend with at least 4 days on the Hoosiers (our friend ACE10). I keep asking reports from him. He says they are wearing nicely.
I can say he is a great driver... Uses the car properly. As I hear more about this set, I will try to report.
Finally, I get Hoosiers very cheap. Let me know if you are interested.
Figure about $20-30 less per tire than tirerack.com
How? I am friends with a distributor. He passes dealer rates to me, I pass them on to you and my other friends.
