We just got a set of Hoosier Street TDs, to run HMSA's Coronado event.
I was surprised when the tire treadwear rating was 0. So are they OK for
VARAC or not?
Also, the Traction and Temp ratings were both C, Lowest rating. This
surprised me also, since the Yoko A008Rs tires I had years ago had a
TW rating of 40, but the Temp/Traction were both A.
Why would the Hoosiers have such a low temp/traction rating, if they are
supposed to be a pseudo race tire?
