I get it that Hoosiers do not last as long as a street tire, but they are not nearly as short lived as some street tire proponents claim.
I regularly run hoosiers down to the no-lines-almost-corded level...and corded 3-4 this year doing hpde crap.
the laptimes are only a few seconds slower than he best that I can get out of them, until corded... I agree with ron completely here. Old hoosiers aren't complete throw aways
