For the last few years, folks that have tested the Hankook waters have been greeted with limited to no supply of thier chosen tire size at some point during the race season.Quote:

...usually right before important races, like the IT Fest and ARRC. Never again, not even if they're free.Quote:

so how offers regional support. I know hooiser did, atleast last year they did. whom else?
Hoosier will be making an announcement this week.
Famous last words. As two free sets arrive at Greg's door...okay, so I'll take them.Quote:

Nope, sorry, I'd sell them before they get put on one of my race cars.Quote:

Ever have two of those seasons? Try it, it's fun.
Then, you find out that not only did said manufacturer not properly maintain their supply chain, but they're sending them to their "National racers" for free, and then said racers aren't using them, instead offering them to you at retail prices?
Sorry, "not even if they're free".

Think you already know my answer that. :lol:Quote:
