As one of the few guys to run Hankooks on several platforms, they are a good tire. This season I switched to Hoosier and I can honestly say the Hoosier is MUCH better than the Hankook. It is a faster and lighter tire than the Hankook. I have has the R6's last for 3 national race weekends with all sessions on the same set with no drop off. I have just started to run A6's so I don't have any real data on them yet. I have seen laptimes decrease on average of 1 sec+ on R6's at all tracks that I have run at this year. As far as cost goes I guess the saying goes something about how fast do you want to go. Comparatively to the Hankooks I think the Hoosiers are relatively the same in cost without the supply hassle.
