15x12 6UL for new Hoosier 295/35/15 A7
#28
I talked to somebody that the contingency person forwarded me to on Monday can't remember the name. Said he had several samples and they looked good after some fiddling with the casing design layup some they now look good. called again today to verify they got all my contingency requests and they said looks like they will have them ready for shipping next week. Already shipped the 275's I requested. Going to be interesting getting these to work on the front. In theory just enough modification to get them to fit will be legal for SSM you but you will have to take a 200 lb weight limit hit though. Don't think CSP can stretch the rules that far for front inner finder massage work needed. For now I think we will put them just on the back of a CSP car and see what the result is. If you don't care about rules then have at it but I still think non DOT 23.5X12R16 is where to go for XP and beyond.

So i wrote hoosier an email yesterday about the tires.
My question:
"Hi,
I'm would like to know the status of the 295/35-15 Hoosier A7. I know its in development and was wondering when it will be available to purchase.
Thanks,"
this is what I got back:
"Thanks for writing and good question. This Tire Size / Project is on hold at the moment. Management is discussion the future of this tire size.
I am unsure of its future at the moment.
Feel free to write back next month for an update."
Doesn't give me a great feeling but whatever I guess. I plan to run these on a CSP car.

Update I got today. They are not happy with the just add a spacer to the existing mold approach. Apparently the profile ends up dipping in the middle too much or something. They are apparently going to spring for a new tool to get the profile right at a much greater expense. ETA is moved out. I would assume 6 weeks for tooling then prototype testing and measurement probably a few more weeks I think.
