2 Hoosier R7 Roadrace tires

345/35ZR/18

Heat cycled by Tirerack

I put them on my Cobra ran it around my shop and found that I orders them one size to big. They have one mile on them at 20 MPH.
I paid $900 for them (You can look it up on their web site)

I say NEW, but I guess technically they are used.

Must be picked up locally or pay the shipping.

Buyers for R7s are going to want to know the date codes, found on the sidewall impression tag. What do they rub on or contact on the Roadster? Did you get 335s to fit without rubbing? What width and offset was the wheel these were mounted on?

Also where are you located, if someone wanted to pick them up?

Were is the date code? I bought them about a month ago from Tire rack after the were out of them. So it should be a pretty new date on them. My wheels had to much offset and I was though that they would rub in hard turns (I race my Cobra in SVRA and do track days with Chin) I did not want to raise the car as that would miss up my set up. I have Continentals on it the same size but they were an inch shorter. (3.1 inches of roll out) I run soft coil overs so that the wing will plant the car. At 170 MPH the car squats about 2 inches and I think that was a little close for heading in to Turn one or 17 at Sebring. (My home track)145634

On the computer now I can zoom in and see detail I didn't notice on mobile. Your second picture showed the date code I asked about. Printed into the sidewall is "3620" which is the 36th week of 2020 (August 31 to September 6th). So the tires are 7 months old. I am still back and forth on wheel diameter between 18" or 19". Figure I should probably sort that out before buying tires. These are awesome tires and someone is going to get a great deal! GLWS.

BTW, your car looks great and I love FFRs that are used as intended....for RACING! :)

18" and I am in the Villages Fl. I am an old guy. Take a look at my Facebook page. (Bob Lupini) I am a 45 year racer, mostly TA\FC's and other drag cars. I got into road-racing in 2008 when Sponsorship dried up. This in the fastest RR car I have had. I have had a 57 Vette, a Craftsman Truck (Greg Biffles Champion ship truck) My Cobra makes a documented 637 HP at the flywheel and is only 2350 LBS. I have only do track days with it. I am still trying to get used to it. 145673
