the hoosiers are a lot faster like 4+ sec and worth the extra $ but they don't like to slide around like the toyos. If mooty can feel them let go then his *** is more sensitive then mine but I can't. I need to use the force.

I can feel R6 just letting go but it's way less warning than Nitto. Very stark difference between the two.

I was talking about the slicks, I can feel the R6 but you're right it's night and day to the nitto's. The nitto is like a teaching tire.

That's why I'm using them.

Once I can drive the Nittos somewhat like my driving coach then I'll move back to Hoosiers. Hopefully I can do that in my lifetime....

Dunno, it's a lost art really. I get mine from AZ and have them shipped to the track in NV.

Vic bud, have you ever tried the Dunlop slicks? You may like them, stickier/faster than the R6's but still give some slide/warning action...

BTW how you been dude? I still owe you greatly man

Hey Man, I'm gong good. No complaints. Sorry I haven't tried the dunlops but any slick will be faster then the R6.

You don't owe me anything. Maybe a beer next time I'm in NYC.
