Hoosier vs. American racer
 

Hey guys, Im sure this topic has been beat to death somewhere on here but I cant find it anywhere. Have always run Hoosiers with good success haven't run American racers much. We can get AR's for substantially cheaper prices than Hoosiers out here in CO. so I was thinking about switching over. The results speak for themselves out here most of the fastest guys run AR's with good success (guess I kinda just answered my own question). Any reasons why I wouldn't want to make the switch? Our tracks (the dirt) pretty much suck out here, sandy dry and dusty a lot of the time what compound would you recommend ? Ive been running sp2 rr's and d-12 lr and wearing out rr's 2-1 vs lr's . Any info would be appreciated! Thanks Dave

Where do you race in Colorado? What class? I'm in Denver & starved for good dirt racing

In Mini Sprints AR will work fine take the money you save on tires and invest it in suspension and more frequent RR tire changes. It is a heat cycle thing new is always better.

Sorry I forgot to state we are running a mini sprint, thanks DAD

Guys here (Indiana) win on AR. I havnt tried one yet, but from what I heard, Hoosiers hook up faster and lose grip later in the race, whereas ARs take a bit of time to come in but stay there the whole race. I'm with DAD though, they're about the same and cheaper. And new is always better. I buy take offs from midget teams, and they all run Hoosiers. So that's what I run.

I love American Racer Tires for sure! We use them on our Sprint Car stuff and they work great!
We used to run the SD44 on the Right Rear when I raced Mini-Sprints and I think that is a great choice for you and even a 48 if it is abrasive. Left rears either a 33 or 38. Right Front 44. Left front 38. I believe this will get you going!
Sipe the right rears if slow slick.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the info guys! Dave
