Any experience with any of these models from Hoosier, A6 or R6?, I am looking forward to use them with my stock wheels to run Autocross/Time trials and some outlaw road track test.

A6 autocross and R6 for track right? I may get a second set of 19's (gotta stay stock size for scca) and do oz ultraleggeras with r6 because it'll be track and autX

Are you mainly doing autoX? Get the r6 if doing time trails too maybe.. That's what I'm doing

Thnxs Shahulx.

I was thinking the same way, just wondering if the A6's were in a serious worn out issue against the R6.

I have used both on the track (I am HPDE instructor), and the A6 will wear twice as fast.

A6 will get to temp very quickly (by 3 turns or so), whereas the R6 will require ~1-1.5 laps to get up to optimal operating temps.

A6 definitely for autocross, although some of us track junkies don't really care either way.

Would the r6 just be bad on an autoX? I'd probably get those as I dont do nearly enough autoX vs hpde's

I don't autox much, but I don't think the R6 will get to temp fast enough for the shorter/lower speed turns the autox requires. Don't you guys pretty much go "***** out" right out of the chute?
