I'd certainly recommend the Kumhos as a starting point, at least. While
Hoosiers or G-Forces may be faster at their best, no one denies that Kumhos
wear better than either. My point is that in OSP, particularly with a new
car, your standing may be already determined to the point that having the ne
plus ultra tire won't help or hurt. The types of cars and preparation
levels we see in OSP vary widely, and you may as well see where you fit in -
if you're three seconds faster (or slower) than the class on Kumhos, why
invest in Hoosiers?
Now Don and Steve, they're running in a fairly tightly defined class (SS),
and lord knows they need every edge they can get! ;)
