Sorry adam, but there are only 2 places to get Hoosiers in southern ontario. The first is Matis Racing. The second is the place Mantis buys there tires from.

Since i now live only a few mins from that supplier maybe i can pick some up for you? Sound good? Or, it's only a hour and 10 mins from where you are to St. Kitts.

Unless they moved Mantis is on Speers Rd. in Oakville.

QEW south on Dorval (about 1 km) , Right on Speers, Pass 4th line, first mall on your right. Look for the Tim Hortons.

Yeah, I drive too much. 6000km/month.

I've lived in Oakville for 20 or so years so I know the 'hood.

If you ever need to find a Tim Hoprtons in the GTA I'm good for that too.

As for Mantis near Appleby Line? I dunno. Maybe it's a peelers.

Yes there is a huge Mantis sign off the QEW but that's not Mantis Racing. That's some other company. Don't know what they do.

Mantis Racing is in a little strip mall off of Speers like Theo said.

I'm pondering Hoosiers for Solo 2. Anyone have a guesstimate how long they'll last on the Stook? I went through a set of Toyo's in almost ever Solo 2 event last year (20something) and two lapping days and 4 solo 1 events.

(hmm guess I couldn't drive to the track with them on eh?)
