Hoosier 30" Radial Designation

Yes, it is a very good idea to simplify/clarify the designation and size. I went through some confusion the first few times I bought tires from Keith here in the SE. I finally just started saying " 94" ". But it will help existing customers as well as new and potential customers.

I know of an IHRA Pure Stock racer that would be very happy with the change.He was at an IHRA event running the "small" tires,and somebody actually complained that the rules say that a Pure Stock has to have a 9 X 29.5 X 15 maximum sidewall designation.
It is beyond me how anybody could complain about this when a Crate Motor car can run a 10.5 inch wide tire.
Anyways,the change of the designation seems like a good change to me.I run both sizes too.

mr. tiremaster it seems this would be a good marketing oppertunity keeping the tires same as far as compounds, however it would open up a chance to get more sales to a group of racers that may not have extra clearance for taller tires and currently would not consider a 30x9.00x15 hoosier. They could easily and quickly see that you have a shorter tire they can buy to fit there car or truck.

I can remember when the Hoosiers used to say 92.5 or 94.0 right under the 30.0/9.0/15 tire size. Why not just go back to that?
