Not surprised about the Purple Crack-Hoosiers. Most competitors have 'over-tired' their cars with A6's as the cantilever effect (slant in) of the uber-stiff sidewall against the tread carcass creates grip on an otherwise too-wide tire. Again Newton has failed us, the world is flat. At least that's what the conventional wisdom is about the Hoosiers when bench racing, aka working the autocross course.
