For those of you that have never tried a Hoosier Rain---YOU CAN NOT DREAM of the grip these dudes give the RX8 in the rain. Karrzzzzy grip. Great investment. Just don't drive them on the dry line.

Thanks Eric. I'm looking forward to trying them out!

I had a great transaction with Bartek, and these tires are in my co-driver's possession now. He'll get these mounted on our spare wheels, and they'll be at the waiting for future events!

You'll find that they work best in the water---not a damp or "water colored" surface. Think about standing water on a surface and you'll have an idea of when they work best.

What to watch out for: You can't drive these things on the dry line. They will start
to blister. You'll know when they blister because it will look like skin peeling from a bad sunburn. Again, they are "wets" and work killer in standing water.

Have fun. Pray for rain.
