Hi Guys,

I'm about to buy 3 used Hoosier R6 50% and 1 new one but the tyre guys are asking me if i'm going to upset the diff (rear or front) by having a tyre that is 2mm rolling diameter bigger ?
He asked if we have LSD on the front ?
Does anyone have any experience on this ?
Much appreciated anyone !

 

You're in Melbourne, where? USDM 2003 Evo VIIIs had an open front diff. Everyone else got LSDs, IIRC.

You could also have the new tire shaved down as an option.

 

Yes in Port Melbourne.
So I have LSD ? OK yeah could shave the tire down a bit as a fail safe.
My next event is a 6 hour relay and we need to keep under a nominated time so I might just risk it and put the new one on the front.

Thanks for your input.

 

You will always load one of the fronts more than the rears anyway. On most tracks I run the front-left gets smoked so I cross-rotate the tires.
