Alex, I bought 16 discontinued tires earlier this year. I've worn out 8 tires
already-none have failed. Obviously there are a lot of reasons why a tire can
fail, I'd make sure that all of the variables were considered. I also would
be careful, since Hoosier does Sponsor our sport. What has Good Year done for
us lately. PS--I got over 60 runs on each set, the last working good enough
to be FTD at an event with 200 + competitors. Guy Ankeny
