Anyone running the Hoosier A03S04 on their evo? Just wondering how many runs will they last? I heard they are more durable compare to S03. The SO3 last about 8-10 events on my civic. Just wonder will I see at least 60 runs on with the new s04 on the Evo with good amount of camber.

 

Right now I have 50-60 concrete runs on 275/35-18 A3S04's and they have about 1/2 tread left. Besides basic alignment settings good shocks are the key to tire wear. I used to get 100-120 runs with A3S03's on my DSM.

Thanks Erik, good to hear that. I will be happy to see 80 runs out of them. I was running Victoracer with -3 degree camber in front and -1.7 in the rear, will that work good with the hoosiers? I was gonna order the victoracer again but they are in major backorder right now so I'm kinda force to get the Hoosiers. I'm also want to see if there are any benifits running the hoosiers againt the kumho, not on concrete though...

 

I'm not sure what mods you're running, but it sounds like you've got plenty of camber available and probably higher spring rates/lower ride height than stock. This is good, because without those, you need a butt load of air to keep from eating up the shoulders of the A3S04s. In my AS Evo, I am running in the high 50s trying to keep that under control. On my 245s, I have only about 20 runs on ashphalt on them and you can see already that the outside shoulders are much rounder than the inside ones. I think I can make it to the end of the season without flipping them, but I doubt I could go much further than that...

Thanks for the reply JW. yeah I have JIC with stiffer springs. I noticed the outside shoulder wears more compare to the inside even with the Kumho w/ -3 camber, but I ran with 35psi front and 39 psi rear. I might try more neg camber for the hoosiers, maybe -3.5 front and -2 in the rear.
