I'm pretty sure they are similar in price. Tirerack has the Hoosy's but as yet isn't showing prices or availability for the Eagles.

Only negative is in a 17 they only come 315 wide. If you run 12 inch rears like me you need the 335 which the R6 has!

Anyway, just for those interested.

I run 12" rears and 315/35/17 fit absolutely perfectly, I reckon the 335's have too bigger bulge and the 315 would be better for track use!

Anyone know what compound is better to use?
