The "Hoosier Autocrosser" is an actual bias ply model.
I believe you had the early radials which were
remarkably easy to flat spot down to cord even
with GM's ABS. I ruined a set pushing through
ONE corner on abrasive concrete. The later
generations of Hoosier radials are reportedly
much better. The bias ply Autocrossers tend to
heat cycle to death well before wearing down to
cord, but they only work well on cars with very
quick steering.
