just bought a set from him - made for and used only at the run-offs - proba=
bly 2-3 heat cycles. $85 ea vs $250 new. For my purposes, good enough.
Thanks!

They sell used race tires that have only 1 or 2 races on them. Cheap.

so, I'm planning on breaking out the ex-Schneider-Bond-Wheeler TR4 for a
couple of runs this fall - debating whether I need new tires. There's
plenty of rubber left on the Goodyear Eagles (23x9x15), but as you might
know, Goodyear doesn't make these anymore and haven't for a few years,
so I think they are 4-5 years old, minimum (no date codes). Should I
soften them up with Formula V (tire softener), or spring for a new set
of Hoosiers? Not going vintage at this point - with the suspension
setup, the fiberglass flares, etc, I'm going to keep the car as it is.
I don't have any experience with tires like this . . . can I milk them
for a bit longer or have they aged out?
You can get away with traction compound, but you def. won't get optimal
performance from the tires. The other problem is that after you "juice"
the tires, you get only a few laps before they start going off. Or at
least that's my experience.
If you want tires on a budget, try using some cast-off Hoosier R45
compound 23x9.5x15's. The used tires guys usually have some.
