Default Hoosier R6 Tire Purchase

Looking for recommendations.

Where does everyone buy their hoosier tires from??

I have a busy DE summer planned and looking for great pricing and delivery.

But I am not looking to spend as much as mooty did in 4 weeks.

Stujelly,
what are tires are you running on Mancation?
I am thinking of leaving my Hoosiers at home and running on GT3DECup spec tire - RA1.
As a matter of fact, I did my first runs today on RA1s (at Summit Point).

1 sec per mile roughly in hot weather, a little less in cold weather, I think anyway.
Curious to Clarkes findings.

I am running the r6 245 front & 325 rear because I have 4 other friends running the .2 RS with the same set up and I refuse to let them beat me too bad.

Nope, Hoosier West doesn't ship far enough north. I ship to PJS's office and he brings them to them track for me.

i am near certain there isn't a 245/35/19 Hoosier R6 or A6

in 19s there are a 235/35/19 and a 265/30/19 (with some work this is the money tire with the larger diameter for more contact patch)

there is a 245 in 18s

the 235/35/19 is 'really' a 250 width tire
