So, it's more of a competitor to the Vitour P1 then?

Did Hoosier pay the SCCA tax on these?
I see the "not a real 200tw hammer" dropping in 3...2...1....

Cup 2R - $537
Supercar 3R - $533
TA Pro - $495
A052 - $477
CRS V2 - $451
RE71RS - $440
Boy, I'm glad I run little tires sometimes. Even the "big" 245/40-17 is only $263 for the RE71RS.

It never has, and this is something people pointed out when SCCA launched the first "200 tw" classes 20 years ago.

For like the hundredth time.....there's no hammer to drop. They're not eligible for scca street tire classes because they don't meet the tread depth requirement.

In reply to camopaint0707 :
Probably someone like me who is looking for rubber for his second or third set of rims for HPDE / club track day events that can handle wet surfaces and will not pull the bushing out of the control arms after a couple hot laps. I will be the first to admit that the capabilities of my C5 Corvette exceed those of the "old fart loose nut behind the steering wheel". I run Michelin PS4 on the street rims and was planning on a set of Yoko A052 for the track rims next season (a friend of mine in Cincy rides on those A052 all the time on the street on his C5 Corvette). Now these TimeAttachPro's look very tempting! Thanks for all the info!!
GRM:
Please include tire sidewall stiffness data when you compare these to the others.
My favorite 200TW tires to date is the Goodyear Supercar 3 , as it has a very stiff sidewall and they just feel "right" and awesome to drive on and feel more like a super 200TW grip wise, but are always on back order in my sizes. 245/35/20 & 295/30/20
I'm giving the CR-S V2 a try in a few weeks on my 718 GT4 as they are just coming into the states from Phil's Tire
Can't wait to try the Hoosiers late next year when my sizes are avail.
Currently on AD09's
Sounds like a good competitor to the Cup 2R and Supercar 3R. If considered against those, Hoosier may be the best choice.
Regarding in comparison to and current crop of super 200 this seems like a step in the wrong direction. Higher prices and what appears like worse tread life compared to the A052. No thanks!
Vitour P1 - many others have tested, myself included over the course of this season and found the pace within the envelope set by the A052, RE71RS, CRSv2. Any of these tires one could win on in competition.
P1 having the longest tread life the current crop of competitive options. In internal standardized testing the actual treadwear of the P1 is around 260-280.
Many have found that a cold A052, size for size is the hottest setup, of course with the trade off of poor heat tolerance and low tread life.
I think a tire like the Vitour P1 will allow more racers to afford to attend more events, while doubling down in the Cup 2R direction will have the opposite effect.
