Still a few club guys using them, though. Mostly Mavericks if I am not mistaken.
John-the 13" are Hoosier 20" to 20.6", Goodyear 20-20.5. Not terribly off. Not to mention less "cottage parts" in that regular brake rotors, hubs, spindles, wheels, etc could all be utilized. Thanks to Jeff at Hoosier for taking care of us as always! jim ----- Original Message ---- From: Art <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 4:24:52 PM Subject: RE: [F500] Tires Jim, The only person that was using Goodyear tires in Solo was Jim Murphy and he just didn't buy enough :-). Nobody else used them 'cause they sucked, plain and simple. Even Big Jim has finally seen the light :-) :-). Art -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Libecco Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 12:10 PM To: F500 Subject: [F500] Tires A little birdie on the inside has told me that Goodyear has stopped production of 10" tires. This was discussed at the FSAE event this weekend in Michigan. They used up the full stock of tires and some teams then had to go to Hoosier. The Goodyear people suggested that teams plan on construction with 13" wheels instead. Since the diameter between 13 and 10" tires is limited, they expect little transition problems for most teams. Now how long will Hoosier hold out? I suspect few problems since they are the dominent player in the itsy bitsy tire size market. jim _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! *** _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! *** _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
