Needed: 1 only Hoosier R6 315-35-17
Gentlemen,
I know this is a very long shot -----
Any chance anyone has a single R6, 315-35-17, with only 1 or 2 heat cycles?
Our very first test session of the season, with stickers, and we puncture a rear! Any help?
Thanks,
Ed LoPresti

Wally,
I wish it were possible, believe me! The puncture is right on the outer shoulder. The tire place tells us that this would be really "iffy" for even a street-use tire, because of the location of the hole.
We could reverse it on the rim, so that the flaw exists on the inboard shoulder, but the risk of failure is just not worth it to us. What I really want to know is why this did not happen on the seventeenth heat cycle, instead of the first!

Hello Mike,
Thank you for the offer, but, on this particular set of tires we are commited to the R6 es, still having 3 that are brand new.
