 LAKEVILLE,
IN -- Hoosier's upcoming entry into the quarter midget and karting market created quite a stir this past week at the PRI show in Indianapolis
where prototypes of two new sizes were on display. Hoosier
Engineering Manager John DeSalle commented, "I've been coming
here for a long time and I haven't seen this much excitement about a
new tire line in years. It's going to be huge." Those thoughts
were echoed throughout the three-day event as visitors flocked
the Hoosier Tire booth to get a glimpse of the new five and six inch
bead diameter tires. At this point, the only tires that
have been produced are some 6" test and display tires. Full production
equipment is not scheduled to arrive until the end of March at which
time development will go into full swing. The plan will be to
refine the 6" asphalt tires and begin work on the 5" tires. The
goal is to release the 6" asphalt tires in late spring with the
5" asphalt and 5" and 6" dirt tires by summer.
Please continue to check
our website for periodic updates on the progress of our development of
this new tire line. When the tire goes into production and is
available for sale to the public, we will have an announcement on our
website.
