<div> </div>
<div>Looks like you needed a set of snow tires!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I remember well the Hoosier Dirt Stockers. Chuck Noonan set a track
record in the rain at the old Bryar track using those! After that,
everyone had to have them!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the tip about looking beyond our traditional tire sources.</div>

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”. </span></div>

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.</span></div>
