I started on Hoosier TDs for a few years, then to the Toyo 888s then Sept
2019 at the Glen I had to get tires at the track and they are the 205/60x13
Speedsters. Have only run them at four events cause of Covid mostly.  I
think the TDs allowed a little slip which I liked.  The transition from
Toyo to Hoosier radials was a non event for me, changed them in the same
weekend, seamless, may be just me, but I don't recall noticing a
difference. That said I don't have a particularly sophisticated pallet for
beer or wine either, kinda only know when I *don't* like something.  I
think Sasco gave me a very fair price, including mounting, balancing and
valves, without checking I think it was about $900 trackside, was fortunate
and thankful they had them.

I kill a set of speedsters in less than 2 weekends of racing. The Toyo's 
last much longer for me.  Other folks seem to get more time out of their 
speedsters, but not me.
