[Fot] rain tires

[Barr, Scott]

I’m loving the Hoosier Spec Racer Ford rains and will be getting four of the fronts (185/60-13) for the GT6 racer (assuming the world is still turning by the time I finish it).   Those are 13”, but your Hoosier dealer should be able to tell you which tire is similar in 15”.

The hot tire at one time was the Hoosier Dirt Stockers, but I don’t think they’re the same anymore – or you can’t get them.  Not sure you could ever get those in 15”, but they were great in 13” on the Spit racer.

PS, the Hoosier Spec Racer Ford tires also work well in the snow.  See photo attached.

What's the best rain tire?

I'm bewildered by the choices of R compound treaded street tires, pure rain tires, or something in between?

I run a '65 TR4A built to '76 GCR rules with 7 inch rims.  For dry I am using Hoosier TDRs

Your thoughts/experience, please!
