Default hoosier autocrossers = odd little buggers

well, i finally managed to put my Circle Racing 13x8s on the '92 si this past weekend. they suprisingly fit purrrfectly, after making some 'adjustments' to a brake sheild or two

what was most suprising was the INSANE slip angles these tires seem to like. going around a corner, i could throw in a bunch of lock, and the tires would just start to grip MORE. very strange for some one who is used to radials only.

lesson learned: bias ply tires are REALLY flexible, and going back to radial construction race tires is gonna be really hard after this season

I have bias ply hoosier's and the slip angles are crazy! but it is fun to learn on! Slaloms are very tough with the squishy side walls but makes you learn how to control the car.
