Hoosier A6 275/35/15!!! Ready FEB/Mar 07!!

Well, the rumor is that Hoosier will be producing the 275/35/15! I guess now we will find out which Mini owners are Men and which are Boys! Who is going to be the guineau? Me? lol Yeah Baby!!!

Anyone have a Saw Zaw ready?

I hear of a February/March 2007 production, so, this is freaking great news for DSP/SM Mini owners if we can make them fit. I'll be ordering wheels shortly. :-) I'm pretty much ready to throw in the STX towel and go full bore DSP if I can make these HUMONGOUS Hoosier A6's work. :-))))

Oops, it looks like 949 already beat me to the announcement. Actually, he was the initial person who received the good news it appears. :-)

So, when will those 15x9.5's be avialable?

Put those 275/35-15 tires on the 949 racing 15x8" rims.

I cannot imagine a tire 70 mm wider than what I have on my 15x7" rims now. What's that going to do to my contact patch? Yikes.

I think I'm going to have to raise my ride height.

I'm wondering if this will work, it won't take much I'd guess with a 22.9 inch tall tire. :-)

Ugh, that would be a real bummer.

Maybe I ought to stick with just 225/45-15. Anybody broke an axle yet?
