They both have good heat resistance over a 20 minute session and they both come up to temp reasonably quickly and are both ready by lap 2-3.
I think Hoosiers in general reward a more precise driving style without large slip angles. The Goodyears put up with a bit more slip.
Turn in on both is precise but the Hoosiers don’t give the harsh pounding sensation over bumps like the Goodyears do. They both seem to be wearing evenly across the tread (with pyrometer testing to get the correct pressures).
That’s all I can think of for now. They’re both good tires. I’ll have to see how the Hoosiers wear after a few more days. The Goodyears lost grip for me on day 4 and wore like iron after that forcing me to throw them out after 2 sub optimal days. That last layer of rubber was useless.
