Title: Used Hoosier racing Slicks
Post by: f1000 on July 28, 2014, 09:40:04 PM
I am looking for a used set of Hoosier Slick tires of the following sizes:
22.5 x 10.0-13 (Rears)
20.0 x 7.5-13 (Fronts)
Any compound as these are to be used to put some wheels on my F1000.

Thanks

Desmond

Hey Desmond,

7.5" is a bit of an odd size not sure if you will find anything used local.

I have a couple sets of 13x8 and 13x10 Hankook Radials kicking around if you need something to get it rolling.

You might try Blair Robertshaw he might have something off one of his Stohrs.

Hi Roger,

The 7.5" was one of the tire widths that was on the Hoosier tire list for the F1000 series, but the 8" will work for my needs right now.
I don't want to spend the money on new tyres that will only be used next race season.

How much do you want for a set? I'm assuming these are slicks.

It was good to meet you and talk race cars....
Has your dad retired from racing now?

Desmond,

Do you already have your rim situation sorted? As most of the F1000 guys are running 6" and 8" as they find the aero advantage is greater than the lost traction to the 8" and 10" setups.

We can probably be separated from a set of tires for a case of beer and yes they are slicks.

Nope still running he is going to be driving at the August Castrol event and I will be crewing we share the car.

The tires are down in his garage in Calgary so email me and we can get something sorted delivery/pick up wise.

Unfortunately I will not be ready as I hoped to be, still lots to do on the car. I still have to make the nose and front wing and complete the rear wings and diffuser.
The end is in site......finally.
Here are some photos. I will take more up to date photos in due course and post them.
