Jim-- Good post. I ran off the sheet showing the tire specs for our size
tires but I note their pressures are much higher than what we are currently
running and I wonder how lower pressures affect the spec shown.

Interesting data--check out sidewall/tire spring rates in the Hoosier FSAE
data. You might be suprised!

Good to hear Hoosier plans to support our class and 10" tires indefinitely.
Just thinking that when & if the day ever comes that we need to change to
13", we'll definitely need the larger suspension rubbers to adjust for the
smaller/stiffer sidewalls.
. . . yet another reason for that improvement item.
Shiny Side Up,
