Hoosier R100 blow out. Is this common?
Had one let go at mid ohio this weekend. Thank god it was in a safe place and nothing was damaged.
Is this a common these with these tires? I've heard grubblings before but would enjoy any feedback you guys have. If this is a common thing I'm going to be moving on to something else. Mich cups are a little pricey for what I'm doing with the car imo and was going to look at the new conti's or yoko's

Has happened to me before, mostly because of bumpsteer, but it happened FAR easier on the Hoosier Slicks than it did on Hoosier DOT's, Yoko slicks or Michelin Slicks (on the same car) They are very sensitive.

I had an R100 fail on the rear of my Ferrari in the same place just a couple of weeks ago. Not all the way around like you, but multiple, non-continuous spots where the fault was about an inch in length. Car was over steering so I fault something wrong, turned out I was losing air from each of the spots. I guess I caught it before it became what you are showing above.
I've been seeing lots and lots of failures on Hoosiers lately. It's a spec tire in the Ferrari series I run but I will not buy another new set for the Porsche.

Also what tire pressures were you running ? And how often did you compensate the pressures for heat, or sessions ran ?
Also how much does your car weigh ?
Is this on the 993 GT2 ?
