What are Hoosier Cup tires?

My guess would be the grand-am tires.

Yes they are the GrandAm tires. Never used or scene them but from what I have heard they are a bit harder and made to last longer. Someone else will no more but that is the topside of the difference as I understand it.

From the guys I have talked to that ran grand-am, I heard the tires make Toyo's seem like Hoosier R6's

Yea, there's much grumbling form the guys who've run on IT Hoosiers and the Cup Hoosiers...not a lot of love for the Cup tires.

Bob, I'll echo the comments, thanks for listening..and being open minded. Some of the yahoos that post here have some good insight!

I am not sure they make the Cup tire in less than a 17" diameter.

Invite the companied to put up special contingencies for running their brand. Simple. As soon as you require everyone to run a specific tire, you kill the entries that don't run them and you do not backfill them with anyone.

How about a tire distributor as a partner for the series? Tire Rack sponsors BMWCCA Clubracing for example.

Great idea to not have spec tires. Worst idea ever. If a tire is better then all others, it will become the "spec" tire anyways.

What you need to do is approach for more contingency/prizes. Nice job!

I have them for my E46 M3 for DE. Yes, they are harder, traction is not as good as 'regular' Hoosiers. But my experience may be tempered since I buy them already race used. 18" for sure, 245 I think.
