hoosier tires

[jlrenken]

just was wondering if anyone has ran these tires for mx and what do u think. r they any better than mrxs or dunlops or razers. thanks

Yes, they are the best tires I have ever ran. I think they have great forward bite and sliding is predictable. I run the soft compound rear, and the razer cross looking ones on the front.

Definately better than mxr's, quad cross and standard razers. Yellow label razers oar ok, Never ran dunlop. I will be running Hoosiers again this season.

Which ones you running ML and where you buying them? Wonder if thier better about sponsoring than the rest.

You need to try the goldspeed tires. The top pros that have tried them have all been much faster on them than any other tire that they have ever ran. Check them out on DWT 's wesite dwtracing.com

The tire is new to the U.S and is only available at DWT
they have differant compounds and foot prints to choose from.

How do the weight of these Hoosiers compare to the other brands out there? Compared to holeshots, ITP quadcross, DWT's, etc? With the DWT's, what tires would you run on a loose sand/clay track?

I have a question are goldspeed tires made by maxxis? I thought they were just maxxis brand for overseas in europe. I know they have a few different footprints but they also have some that are the same pattern as razrcross and razrs.

[nvrpmx]

Goldspeed is made by Maxxis but they have there own compounds and they are two differant companies. although some foot prints do look a like the compound is much differant and that seems to be the big differance on the track for lap times.

As far as weight goes there all real close on the MX tires but when it comes to the 20" rears and the 21" fronts goldspeed is alot lighter than most.

imo hoosiers are over priced. Goldspeeds are ok. But i prefer itp quadcross pro's all day long.

They are the best tires ever for the first three motos, then they are junk.

The Goldspeed tires are rediculously expensive tho. but they are the softest compound I have ever felt

Devin, Are you talking about quadcross pro's?

[DEVINF450R]

Yeah... every set ive had have been amazing the first few races and then they just suck after that

[bomberman]

I know what you mean. Ive had a set that have lasted a day before. Then ive had another pair. exactly the same make that have lasted 3 race meetings. The quadcross pro lites are meant to last longer though. But imo you cant beat the itps. And Ive shredded a brand new set of goldspeeds in 1 race before. Had to turn them round for the seconds moto and by the end of the day were no good for anything.

I have about 40 motos on my soft compound hoosiers. They look pretty rough, but I pulled both holeshots at Springfield AX a couple of weeks ago. They are ready to be replaced though.

If I didnt have to pay $100 a tire for hoosiers I would try them

[ml450r]

Wow, I didn't know they cost that much.
