The Hoosier R35 (F2000 Spec) is a bias-ply racing tire meticulously engineered for open-wheel formula cars competing on asphalt circuits. This tire caters to racers demanding maximum grip and responsiveness in dry conditions. Its ultra-soft compound, signified by a 40 UTQG treadwear rating, is designed to deliver exceptional adhesion and rapid heat-up, providing drivers with immediate confidence and superior track connectivity.
The R35 distinguishes itself through its specialized construction, optimized for the unique demands of formula car racing. While specific construction details are proprietary, Hoosier utilizes state-of-the-art technology and materials derived from their GT Pro slicks, ensuring a lightweight design and advanced belt package. This construction promotes increased cornering speeds, later braking, quicker acceleration, and enhanced maneuverability through transitions.
Compared to other tires in the Hoosier racing line, the R35 prioritizes outright grip over longevity. Its extremely soft compound will wear more quickly than harder compounds, making it ideal for shorter sprint races and qualifying sessions where ultimate performance is paramount. The R35 is not intended for street use or wet conditions. It is a dedicated competition tire, designed to give formula car drivers a competitive edge on the track.
