So I heat cycled my Hoosiers yesterday and I've got perma-grin. Have any of you guys made the switch from Victoracers to A3S04's? It's freaking amazing how nice the Hoosiers feel. I can't wait to try them out. Hell, there's 3 more inches of tire with the Hoosiers. I had to build a new stucture on my trailer just so they'd fit!

I made the switch from heat-cycled-to-death Victoracers to A3S03's right before the divisional... I know what you mean about that grin. I tried to heat cycle my Hoosier's on a interstate clover-leaf, but I didn't do quite as much as I wanted to because I was going 70 around that thing sticking like glue. I didn't have the balls to push any harder. When I got back to the tire store to have them pulled off the car, you could see that I missed like a whole inch of tread on the outside of the tire. oh well!

Well, I read on here that someone called Hoosier and talked to a guy named Steve and he said it wasn't as important to heat cycle the auto-x tires. It's the road race tires that benefit the most so don't dispair.
