Need some input from you guy's that run a hoosier
brand tire, I have ran Phoenix for a long time, but cannot
get the size I needed for my car, have been told Coker has
sold their Phoenix molds to someone in Pennsylvania, cannot
get a confirmation on this but 3 differen dealers told me this,
thus the reason for not being any tires around in the size I run,
anyway I rolled a new set of hoosiers on, and they feel nothing like what I am used to feeling in the car when it leaves, it doesn't
spin and hooks good, but it feels like I am running over rumble strips
when the car leaves, like it is rattling the tires, have been adjusting the air pressure to try and get this squared away, but I haven't been able to do so, but I only have 6 hits on the tires, so all you hoosier guy's give me some input on where to look, maybe this is just the way they are, but I don't like it, car has always been smooth as silk when it leaves, so I am trying to find the magic combination, some input?????????????

Thanks
Dave




What rear shocks do you have on it? Try putting more shock in it maybe? Might be killing the tires at the hit.


I had hoosiers on mine and couldnt get it to work for nothing on a hot track. Switched to the pheonix tires and it seemed to help.

Going back to Mickey Thompson 3074S tires if I can get these pheonix tires anymore.
