I think it was mentioned earlier, but this is the tire that basically every winged series in the country runs now, starting last year-ASCS has been on this tire for probably 5 or 6 years. When all the 410 series and all the other local winged 410 tracks signed with Hoosier, the universal stipulation was that it is to be a 5 year contract and the price is locked in @ $198 plus tax for each year.
