I picked up 2 old Hoosier R6's that have 2006 date stamps.....they were nearly free so I got them.. they have never been mounted or used

Thoughts on using them? Right now I have two identical sized Hoosier R6's that are getting quite worn I could pair them with......

Of course I also have 3 BFG R1's that are still decent too.....I am getting quite the collection of unmatched sets of R comps....due to a flatspotted R1 and corded R6...

I've know people who use 4 year old Hoosiers with no problems. Doubt if those extra 2 years will make a difference as long as they were stored in decent conditions

They felt really hard to me.......but I'd imagine that outer layer will scuff off quickly

I've used old Hoosiers before. Just be careful and if they feel really bad, don't hesitate to switch.

Consider buying a tire durometer for about $60 at OG Racing. Harder the tread, higher the dial reading.

I ran some ancient ho hos that came with my car and one busted a steel belt going down the back straight at VIR, so I threw the rest out.

have fun, they will fine.
you really need to get some bigger tires for that rig though!!

invest in some new rims and you will make the car handle as it should. trust me on this one!
you need 305 rears (or even 295min) and 275 fronts. they fit without mods and for a car as heavy as yours, needs some bigger meat!

The bummer is $$$$....as in I have NONE.....my wife about had a stroke when I told her about my $1100 RA1's

Lol, luckily or perhaps not, that you don't live outside the US. Down here we pay $1100 for only a pair of decent sized RA1s...then again if you told her that perhaps she'd become catatonic and not be able to verbalise her objections.
