So less than 50% life expectancy vs G3s.
What's the estimated # of track days for the latter, based on those that run the stockers? |

Given how few of us have corded the G3's, the data you're asking for just isn't out there yet. The answer will likely be "fewer".

ok tons of experienced hot shoes here that killed many tires in their careers and no doubt stare at their tires after each run So, let me re-phrase my question:
Based on tread wear that folks have seen after 3-4 track days and whatever dd duty in between: do folks estimate they will last just 1 more day, or easily double the existing days, or possibly even more before the tread is worn sufficiently that nobody would wish to risk driving home in case the skies opened up? This is based on tread life vs cords showing, as it applies to a dual purpose tire that gets ya to/from a track vs a slick that gets trailered. Just looking for a general idea re longevity ESTIMATE based on current usage to-date. No worries if reality turns out different. Thanks! |

good find I heard they're the first R comp tires ever made by Goodyear, if the price is right I will probably try them

Whereas with the NT01, I did my best lap right before I corded them

Ya I did a few seasons on NT01 and plenty liked them but after a few events they were real bad in a wet. Interesting your experience with RE71R doesn't quite mirror Provoste's n my Pcar friends. Oh well.

For those who want the sticky tires, Hoosier confirmed fall or winter for some 20 inch A7 and R7 and more sizes next year:
John, Thanks for writing and good question. The demand for Track Day / Competition tires for 20” wheels has certainly grown here in the past few years as requests have been frequent this year. We have been working on this for over a year but do see some light at the end of the tunnel. We plan on releasing two sizes this year(Fall or Winter) with more to follow in 2018. Here are the proposed sizes: Fall / Winter 2017 P245/35ZR20 – A7 / R7 P305/30ZR20 – A7 / R7 More sizes will be released early next year with the proposed sizes: P285/30ZR-20 A7 / T7 P265/30ZR-20 A7 / R7 P335/25ZR-20 A7 / R7 Depending on Wheel Width, you may be able to run the P305 – 20 this Fall, but may have to wait until the P285-20 is released next year. Feel free to write me this Summer for an update on Release Dates. Congrats on your New Car! Jeffrey A. Speer Circuit Racing Product Manager Hoosier Racing Tire a Continental AG Company |

Don't know how many 20s Hoosier will sell to the Camaro community as it seems most folks that will get 2nd set of rims will get 19s and Hoosier already makes 295/315 in that size. OTOH those that stay with stock wheels as the only choice couldn't really run Hoosiers to/from track.
What would be great is if Hoosier released a harder compound tire, a la the one run in Conti series so they would last longer and perhaps with some tread for street. In other words their version of a Cup tire for majority of track going community. Just IMO. |
