Any comments or comparisons to PF90/97 or porterfield R4 or R4s? I can't recall ever seeing them discussed on the list before (which maybe answers my question right there). jeff 98 m3/4 - eating up Hawk HP pluses too quickly.

After-all, GM put a 245-50 tire on a 16x8 rim for several decades in the 3rd and 4th generation F-body platforms. Also, I think that Ford has put 245-45's on a 17x8" rim for nearly a decade in the Mustang as well. Hell, in FS we used to run 255-50's on a 16x8 rim on the F-bodies, though some opted for a 245-45, mainly due to the improvement in gearing - not the better tire to rim fitment.

BTDT. It fits without any issues. Though if you go to the Hoosier web site they recommend at least an 8.5" wide rim. > I guess it would be similar to running a 235 on 17x7.5?

My understanding is that they are a racing pad, comparable to Hawk Blues. I'm actually considering trying them on the race car, as supposedly they stop just about as well as the Blues, but are a bit more rotor-friendly and last a bit longer. They are more expensive than the Blues, however. Jim Bassett
