Title: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by Dietzsch_Racing25 on 03/04/09 at 11:13am It sounds like the tire I use (Kelly Charger) is being discontinued, at least in the sizes I use most. I need to find a replacement. The four brands that I have heard others use are: Cooper Cobra's Road Huggers Uniroyal Tiger Paws Firestone Firehawk Anyone have opinions on the tires above? Anyone have any other suggestions? How much is everyone paying for a tire these days? CD |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by Chad11 on 03/04/09 at 2:08pm Bako guys use road huggers, I think they are best for dry track conditions. They seem pretty soft for a street tire. I have read on other forums that cooper cobras are good as well but they do not perform well on a dry track. |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by jr07 on 03/04/09 at 8:29pm Coopers are great on a dry track with a dry track set-up. Sidewalls are a little thinner than the Huggers or Paws. Never ran Hawks but heard they are great. I don't think that you can go wrong with any of the tires listed. I'd run what I could get a deal on. |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by snoopy2299 on 03/08/09 at 1:08pm road huggers are $100 in bakersfield now. the track raised the tire rule so the tire store found out and raise the tire cost $20 extra dollars this year |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by CrazyJay_51 on 03/08/09 at 5:11pm I think the store is just screwing them selfs because we'll just run a diffrent tire one thats cheaper and works just as good jason 8-) |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by Tate on 03/08/09 at 6:06pm mi dad has been looking for a better tire than a road hugger and im pretty sure the ones we found are better 62$ to |

I would assume that those are the "indy 500s". A couple of guys at perris have used them in the past. I couldn't find any this past weekend though. $100+ for a tire is just a little out of my budget (for a little more we might at well go to hoosiers). Saw a couple of guys with hercules tires and got one thumbs down on them. I have gotten mostly good reviews for the cobra's and tiger paws. CD |

Are they the Winterforce? I have been eyeing those, Just affraid they would be considered "over agressive" which is bad wording in the rules because that is a opinion call. I am all for a spec tire again! |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by racing91 on 03/16/09 at 3:42pm I have personally used the indy 500, cooper cobra, hercules, and paw and i personally liked the indy 500 and cooper cobra the best. |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by mijo4 on 03/17/09 at 7:56pm What sizes are you guys looking for? |
|
Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by Dietzsch_Racing25 on 03/18/09 at 9:14am I use 235/70-15 the most but also use 245/60-15, 255/60-15, and 255/70-15. |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by mijo4 on 03/18/09 at 9:52am You are right the KELLY CHARGERS are discontinued in thoes sizes |
|
Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by CamaroKid on 03/26/09 at 3:59pm 15" inch tires are a thing of the past, even small cars have 16" wheels on them, we might as well go to hoosiers...... |

Most people dont have enough bad a$$ cars in thier barn to need that many tires! Just messing with you a little. Hoosiers would fix the best tire debate but would be costly. |
|
Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by Dietzsch_Racing25 on 04/01/09 at 9:18am I agree, hoosiers would be an expensive option. So what is the cheapest tire option. The cheapest I have found is ~$75 (cobra's). CD |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by Dietzsch_Racing25 on 04/02/09 at 1:58pm I don't think I'm running for points at perris so I may be up there during your season if I can "run what I brung". It would be nice to race with 30-40 cars again. You gonna come down to perris this year? |
|
Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by SPEED_E21 on 07/17/09 at 5:14am i think the best tire for hobby's would be the 7.5" american racer that merced runs there an awsome tire and they are like $80-$85 the last time i bought one |

Title: Re: Steet (Hobby) Stock Tires Post by lmfan01 on 07/18/09 at 9:56am Curtis When you come and race Bakersfield. Bring your home track rules with you and they tech your car to those rules.. Unless you are Just way out of line to our rules. Santa Maria cars come over with there quadrajunk 4 barrl carb and they race. I am sure if you have an injected motor in you be in trouble... lol You will be warned about the things you need to fix but be allowed to race. No racing tires{ Hoosier, american racer, and a 7 inch wheel } and you should be fine. If you have any questions about you car just I M me and I can let you know if we will allow it ... Come and see us ... Jimmy |
