You kidding? I just got a new set of 17's for the Vette. They are heavy
tire but they do stick damn well. I also have a set for the Roc(s) and
they performed outstandingly at Dubwar. With the smaller 13" tires, I do
think the Hoosiers are a faster tire. Ive not seen the Hoosiers dominate
AS (Vette class) like they have FSP in the tour results. (Roc's class.) 
Also on an open track, the Kuhmo's hold up amazingly well! I thought id
come in with well worn tires after the days events but alas, still pelnty
of tread left. :)
