On my car, I've found they can still show some decent tread depth despite the fact they're not working very well anymore. The only time I've ever gotten to cord on Hoosiers is via flatspotting due to brake lockup  (no ABS).
For non-race purposes, that's why I like the RA1's so much. They just seem to get better and better until you DO wear them down to the cord. Hoosiers at around 15 heat cycles are probably close to RA1's in performance. |
