I've been steadily improving mine, except for the bodacious flat spots I put
on that set of Hoosiers at Sears when my steering came undone. I've got a
new set of Hoosiers on, I'll let you know, but so far they look great.

Subject: Hoosier tire wear survey
For about eight years, I was getting four race weekends out of my Hoosier
tires, 5.5. x 15 Vintage TD's, on my TR4.
Starting last year, I have been getting two race weekends or less.
That's a heck of a jump in tire wear. Last weekend, on a brand new set of
Hoosiers, i wore one tire down to where it is no longer useable (and I
wasn't that fast, either!)
I am running the same suspension pieces, am running the same lap times, etc
etc.
Question: Has anyone else experienced this kind of tire life reduction?
