Hoosier Problem
 

Just wondering if any but has had a similiar problem
Have a new pair of hoosiers on the front of my stocker, they are new but a year to a year and a half old, they have been on it since I have been finishing the car, always pumped always inside, car is pretty much done now, all of a sudden I walk by it front tire is dead flat, pump it up and it has a noticable leak on the inside side wall right in the letter G, where it spells Drag Race.......no puncture wounds nothing.........anybody else run into anything like this......decal still on the tire, has not even run down the track
Thanks in advance

Re: Hoosier Problem
 

I've had them develop a crack around the sidewall bulge after 1 - 1 1/2 years of use, but they were about worn out by then and never leaked.

Thanks Myron
Yeah this is weird, you can see a slight split, between the lines in the letter, I will phone Hoosier, but I guess it is better that it happened now than later
Thanks Again

Re: Hoosier Problem
 

Anybody running tubes in your front tires ?
I am running 28/4.5/15 Hoosiers, with a Mickey wheel.........Trying to fix a sidewall leak in my tire by running tubes, a tube we tried had a slightly bigger valve that would not fit through the hole in the rim....................Any suggestions or part numbers??.............My front tires are new or I would just replace them

Thanks for any help

Re: Hoosier Problem
 

I had the same problem about 2 years ago with new front tires hoosier replaced both tires they are aware there is a problem with some of the front tires

Re: Hoosier Problem
 

get a pair of the good old Moroso front runners and run them forever.

Re: Hoosier Problem
 

Never had a problem with Hoosiers.
Forget the tubes.
If tire is splitting it could come apart down track.
2 tires are cheaper than a frontend.

Hi
Thanks for your replies
In looking at the tire looks like a very small pin hole and not a split, but regardless, I will just replace them I will trying talking to Hoosier first as this things have not even made a run,
But I agree Chip better safe than sorry

Moroso`s yah I had a set on old funnycar I ran them things forever

Thanks Again for the help
