[Fot] Hoosier C9000 SliX

[Mike Munson]

I too have tried the Hoosiers slicks several times and I have found that I was just as fast on their dot tires as I was on their slicks that were larger. I don't know what the deal was on that. Inhave always liked the GY slicks better.

Hi,

If anyone out there is running the "new design" C9000 (I think that's what they're called) Hoosier bias-ply slicks, I'd be most interested in sharing setup information.

I put a set of the previous style Hossier slicks on a couple years ago, and I felt like my times were off by a second or so from when I ran Goodyear bias slicks (cantelever).

My "consultant" thinks I should switch to radial slicks. Umm, no. That means buying 8 10" wide rims. I already have a stack of 7"... plus the settings are totally different than bias so I'd have to buy drys and rains...

My big problem is that the input is very vague and you have to more or less slide the car everywhere. I lose tons of times getting the car to take a set. The GY's were INSTANT when you turned in. No slidey thing going on at all unless you were very, very far out of shape.

My brakes suck too, perhaps that's the bigger part of the equation and I'll look into that. But these tires are not to my liking at the present.

regards,
rml
