I pick up some slightly used Hoosiers S03A's tires for autocrossing, I have never run hooisers before. For my 6 year old vitorracers I set about 33psi in the front and more in the rear, where should I start with the S03's?

Thanks!

Hoosiers tend to like a lot more pressure than victoracers. I'd not go below 40-45 psi in the front, and in the rear, who knows, they are just along for the ride.

I'd say Scott is in the right ballpark, maybe 35-38# in the rear depending on how your car handles. It's been a couple years since we ran 03s, I'd have to look at the old logs. Yep, we ran 45# F, 35# rear with SO3s on the Celica with pretty even wear. The 04s need ~ 10# more than the 03s. The 03s also reacted well to traction compound treatment (except at Sanford where they picked up so much gravel they looked like peanut cover donuts). :shock:
Unless they have been badly stored even 03s were much better than any Victorracer except the 710s IMHO, just don't expect them to last 6 more years! :lol:
