The Hoosier P2000 is a pure racing slick tire designed for professional road racing applications where maximum dry grip and consistent performance are essential for competitive lap times. Hoosier Racing Tire manufactures a comprehensive range of racing slicks for various motorsport disciplines, with the P2000 series targeting road racing applications including sports car racing, GT competition, and club racing events. Racing slicks eliminate all tread patterns to maximize the contact patch between tire and track surface, delivering extreme levels of mechanical grip during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The P2000 designation indicates this tire is engineered specifically for road racing circuit use rather than drag racing or oval track applications, with compound formulations and construction optimized for sustained high-speed cornering loads and lateral forces.
The Hoosier P2000 racing slick requires professional tire management including tire warmers to bring the compound to optimal operating temperature before track use, and careful pressure monitoring to maintain proper contact patch shape under racing conditions. The tire features reinforced internal construction designed to withstand the extreme lateral forces generated during high-speed cornering while maintaining consistent contact patch shape and predictable handling characteristics. Racing slicks are available in multiple compound options allowing teams to select appropriate rubber hardness for specific track conditions, ambient temperatures, and race strategies. These tires have zero street legality and are intended exclusively for closed-circuit competition where racing slick configurations are permitted by series regulations. The P2000 series delivers the ultimate in dry weather grip for serious road racing applications, though drivers must understand these tires require proper warm-up procedures, professional mounting and balancing, and careful heat cycle management to achieve peak performance and reliability throughout race weekends.
