I had a highway patrol right next to me on the way to the track. He was passing me on the right and the track exit was coming up on the left. Then he hits his brake and put his left turn signal on, and I hit my brakes and flash him to get in front of me, he wouldn't but didn't realize I was turning in like 100 feet. He had to go straight and I turned, the next turn off for him was probably a half mile. I was gone to say the least.
I also emailed hoosier on the differences of thread compound of the DOT track radials and the Road Racing A6 tires? I'm curious if they are the same tire. I also emailed on the tire pressure we should have them at. For the road racing they have a spec sheet, for the DR's they don't.

I was thinking white letters in for the reasons you stated. I called Hoosier this afternoon to ask about driving with them on the highway 12 to 15 mile's to the track and back. They said driving in a straight line on the highway shouldn't wear them much, but to be careful in rain and that the car will not respond the same turning or braking fast. I should have asked them about the pressure. What kind of pressure do you run?
