CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Hoosier bias-ply slicks

bill dedman · 05-06-2009, 07:29 AM

I am looking for some fifteen-inch, 28"-tall, X 9"-wide Hoosier bias-ply slicks and have found that they come in a tread compound "D-06."

I am trying to maximize initial bite with a 3,600 pound car (including driver weight) that has an automatic transmission, and weight distribution of probably 53/47. 445 rwhp and a 4.10 gear; 2,500 rpm stall.

I am trying to avoid wheelspin and am curious if this "D-06" compound is the right one for this car. The Hoosier site has no information that I can find about tread compounds. I may be overlooking it... I dunno.

Anybody have any information about Hoosier tread compounds you'd like to share?

Any info will be much appreciated.

Bill
