Default Hoosier A6/A7
Has anyone ran an A6 for sprint races?

Application is a 2000 ish lb car, 911

How long do they last compared to a r6

A6 fronts work really well in some E cars in full length races, with the proper set up

2000lbs? A6/7 is the tire you want!

That's what I am thinking

Even in the hot months it's ok?

Will they last a 90 min enduro?

I would think an R6 would be a better choice for an enduro.

90 minutes might be pushing it. The key to making A6's last is smooth and precise driving, along with a good car set up.

Would you have any R6 vs. R7 data - - anyone?
NASA seems to be adding a lot of Time Trial classification points for A7 and R7.
