Tire issue

[PbFoot]

NOLA report. I had my second Hoosier R7 tire failure in 3 races. Lucky for me this last time at NOLA was during qualifying. I switched over to BFG R1-S and had no issues and won my race.


My R7 failures start as a tread bulge which expresses itself as a vibration and a pull to either the left or right depending what front tire is effected. Both of my failures have been front tires.


Not sure what is going on, but I'm glad we did not make Hoosier the default spec tire for our class.
