Same for meâ?¦the grip is about the same, but Hoosiers give no warning when
they loose grip while the Toyoâ??s do. And Hoosiers begin to fade after one
three day event and are done after three. I have two events on the Toyoâ??s
and they feel just like they were new. I have not tried them in rain yet, but
happy to hear from Tony that Toyoâ??s are better, the Hoosiers certainly are
not. I did notice the Toyoâ??s talk to you almost like a street tire when
they are at the limit..so you got not only the seat of your pants feel, but
screaming to tell you â??thatâ??s all folksâ??.
