ST. MARYS, ON – The Southern Ontario Sprints and Hoosier Tire Canada are pleased to announce a new partnership.
The partnership will see the Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) season championship point fund bolstered and Hoosier tires mandated on all four corners of each car competing in all SOS races. As well, the right rear tire must be the Hoosier HTC.
Hoosier Tire was founded In 1957 when Bob and Joyce Newton decided to begin producing their own race tires by re-treading street tires with softer compounds. In 1962, in conjunction with Mohawk Rubber, Hoosier’s first purpose-built racing tire soon followed. In 1978, the Newtons opened their own factory – the first specifically dedicated to producing race tires – in Plymouth, Indiana. On October 4, 2016, Hoosier Racing Tire was purchased by Continental Tire.
Today, Hoosier Racing Tire is the largest race tire manufacturer in the world. The company has its own 300-mph test wheel, a technology center, state-of-the-art and fully-integrated production facilities, and a high-tech mixing plant. Hoosier has been integrated into the Continental Specialty Tire Business Unit and continues to strive for growth.
