Wider 23" Hoosier A7
Well....we did it.
I received confirmation from Jeff today that Hoosier is going to build a tire that is 1.25" wider than the 275/35/15 A7.
I will be called either a 305/30/15 or a 295/35/15 but it will be the current 275 mold with a "spacer"' in the center, so it will still be 23" tall.
They should be coming out of the mold ~May 1st.
I will post more details as I receive them from Hoosier.

I can't imagine the challenges trying to get these to fit. I gave up on the 275/11" combo. Even with the Autokonexion Widebody it was more than I had the stomach for.

We havent had issues getting the tires to temp (expecially on the rear) on anything other than the coldest of days.
We are typically spraying tires after first driver's second run and for sure after 2nd drivers second run.
Then fitment on the rear will be no issues at all the fronts will require some "massaging" with a BFH. You will not be able to turn the wheel lock to lock......but if younare turning the wheel that much.....you arent going fast enough to need these.

I believe the short version is they haven't officially canceled it but it is on hold. I would recommend interested parties keep bothering hoosier to show support for it.
