As I posted in the poll thread, I have used 18+ HC tires and been at the front of the pack, same times as stickers. Just way harder to drive the more HC's they have.
I think the most HC's I recorded on RR's were around 21, then I chickened out of my experiment and got a new set. Shoutout to Toyo for making such an amazing tire.
I ran 18+ hc tires last year at mid ohio regional and ran up front also, fail to see your point! If its a deep field and everyone was on stickers you would need stickers, if only a couple are on stickers when the field is not so deep you can still be semi competitive, very few tracks like old tires, 18+ would not be the tire at road america or road atlanta, or most other tracks!
if you shave the toyo down to 2/32 or 1/32 at most tracks you not going to get 20hc anyway... Nobody is shaving the hoosier, they are competitive for 5-7hc max, i dont believe a shaved toyo is good for any more then that at the majority of tracks.
If you want to beat a Mark Drennan your not going to do that on old ass tires end of discussion!!!!
Personally I am happy with the 205 hoosier, we all have it pretty much figured out now why go back to have to figure out a new tire?????
