^ What? No.

Those Hoosier drags are for the straight line guys that haven't figured out that MT slicks or cycle slicks are the hot ticket. Hell most of us are running 1.6 short times on snow tires LOL! Silly drag racers. These are the A6 and R6 tires. I've been shopping around as well. The are going to cost about $250 a piece. I contacted Hoosier last season and this was their response:

Thanks for writing and for sharing some of your thoughts with me. I do understand the current economy has strained the working person with no pay raises, higher food costs, an increase in gas and daily living expenses.

Under our current distribution system, we do not support or encourage price discounting of our products. I also understand that race tires are one of the biggest expenses of a club racer. You may try to contact one of our distributors / dealers who could work with you on shipping costs, sales tax or mounting / balancing expenses associated with your purchase. This might be able to ease some of the expense of your purchase.

Please send me the city and state you live in so I can recommend an appropriate dealer / distributor.

Thanks for writing and I appreciate your loyalty in using our race tires.
