The Hoosier R6's are great for the track. Even better when you run NASA and participate in Hoosier's NASA contingency prog. When folks want to win a time trial, they often switch to A6's - those are usually good for a few laps until they soak up a lot of heat.

For just DE tires, I'm still a fan of the R888s. They will last through more heat cycles than the Hoosiers, I believe.

Kuhmo V710's are a nice tire that is somewhere in-between the Hoosier A6 and the R6. Also is very durable heat cycle wise.

Thanks Travis

I love the toyo R888s, but I've never really tried Hoosiers. I'll try and slip some on my tire soon to see how I like em....
