Hoosier / Appalachian Tire Are the best. They had a new set of the 13" 04s come in and brought them to the track and made a special effort to tell me they had them.

I installed a set and all I can say is WOW. I REALLY MEAN WOW. What a tire. I pushed them as hard as I could and they held up ( I finished the race 4th overall with a 1st Gen RX7 ). Traction was better than the old Hoosier, and wear, The jury is still out but I will let you know, They still looked pretty good considering how hard Roebling Road is on tires.

If you like the old Hoosier then you will Love the new 04. If you have not tried a Hoosier I suggest you try the 04 at least once... They are that good..

It takes a lot to make a big impression on me and Hoosier has definitely done their homework on this tire and having it available for us to use this season.

My thanks to Hoosier / Appalachian Tire
