Hoosier RCES

The Bottom Line

The Hoosier RCES is perfect for track enthusiasts who need top-tier dry grip and handling response. However, its low treadwear rating and lack of a warranty mean frequent replacements, which can be costly over time.

Important Note

The extremely low treadwear rating of 40 means you'll be replacing these tires frequently, raising the overall cost of ownership.
