selling 2 sets of Hoosier Grand Am Cup tires (from last season)...wanna sell locally. The tires would be good for 1-2 more track days depending on your driving...If rotated and driven as starter R-comps for someone, they may last longer. The may work for autox, I have no idea you'd just have to try 'em there. I was going to use these for practice but decided to stay with a different size for a dry setup.

These are 225/45-17...since Hoosiers measure larger section widths these are as wide as other 235/40-17 R comps from Kumho or Toyo. They fit a 7.5" to a 9" wheel fine. They still have visable tread wear indicator holes and are not heat cycled past effective usage.

Only asking $250 a set o.b.o.

lemme know...

I suspect a GAC tire is not DOT legal? If so, it's not legal for stock, SP or SM classes of autocross. Just a heads up to anyone getting ideas.

It should be DOT legal...the construction is the same as a standard Hoosier R-Comp, it simply uses a slighty harder compound for endurance racing.

Well then. If it is DOT legal it's autocross legal.

I was just guessing it was a full slick, apologies for my ignorance...

I know folks have used them in club racing Stock and Prepared class, which also requires DOT tires...so my assumption is that they are. Haven't ever looked hard enough at the sidewall to tell though.

Your ignorance is forgiven. :D

You are likely thinking of Grand-Am instead of GAC (Grand-Am Cup) racing. The GA cars are more similiar to ALMS and do run non-DOT slicks.

Got it. That is what I was thinking of.

It's all the same anyway. Driving around a track over and over and over.. (yawn)

:D

If I want to drive around a parking lot, I'll go buy some groceries. ;)

One could argue that dodging soccer moms requires much more skill than any auto-x.

good lord
the only thing road racing requires "more" of is balls and money =)

Where is "conekisser" when we need him? :lol:

Well ego is proportional the horsepower, so most bimmer guys shouldn't be too bad =)

I guess that's why good autcrossers do better at road racing than good road racers do at autocrossing? :)

so anyone want to buy these tires? John V., I'll give you a better deal if you can come pick 'em up since your local...?

anyhow, lemme know...and I suspect they would work pretty well in autox, but again I am not sure since I don't really autox...

Thanks sunir, but I think I'll pass. I'm set for tires this year and I don't think they'd work very well for autocrossing. I suspect the compound would have trouble heating up during a 60 second run.

Saving for an SV1000 right now anyway :devillook

I wouldn't think that a dedicated road course tire would sufficiently heat up for an autox, kind of like idea of using a Michelin Pilot Sport Cup for autox.

Good luck with your sale, Sunir!
