Hoosier recently launched their ultra-competitive 200 treadwear summer tire, the Track Attack Pro which has already proven to be one of the fastest street tires on the market. So we're understandably excited to see what this brings to the table compared to some of the great options such as our personal favourite, Nankang CR-S, the Bridgestone RE71RS, and recently updated Falken RT660+ to name a few.
Reviews
Check out some of the reviews and tests of the Hoosier Track Attack Pro to see just how well this tire performs. In Tyre Reviews's testing, this 200 treadwear tire can set a time attack pace not far behind Hoosier's own dedicated R-compound Hoosier R7, although there is less thermal capacity to run as consistently as the R7, which is to be expected with a street tire.
The 200 Treadwear Issue
One of the issues first mentioned by the likes of Grassroots Motorsports is that the Track Attack Pro is simply not legal for SCCA regulations for the 200 treadwear category as the tire starts at 5/32nds tread depth. 5/32nds is on par with another popular "street" tire, the Michelin Cup 2R, that sets impressive lap times, but the Michelins are classified as a 140 treadwear. By comparison, the Bridgestone RE-71RS, Nankang CR-S, and Yokohama A052 which are decently quick 200 treadwear tires have 7/32nds tread depth.
We saw a lot of comments online talking about the Hoosier Track Attack Pro being great "dual purpose tires" but if the tires are anything like the Cup2R in terms of tread depth and pace, we would not expect much longevity out of them. Finding out the actual wear properties will take empirical evidence from many drivers, different vehicles, and use-case scenarios to achieve. But as an educated case we would not recommend this to a customer looking for endurance in their 200 treadwear tires, you'd be better off with something like the Yokohama AD09
Pricing and Availability
At this time in early Spring 2025, the Hoosier Track Attack Pros are only available in about 20 sizes. This is decent for an initial release as they've covered most of the popular track day/time attack street cars from sport compacts to Porsches and muscle cars. Unfortunately the sizes for our shop's GR Supra are not as ideal as there is no 275/40-18 or 295/35-18 is available yet.
Here's a bit of a price comparison based on what we've seen in Canada in Spring 2025. Prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD) and before taxes/installation. It's also worth mentioning that made in USA tires are currently subject to additional tariffs due to the USA-Canada tensions.

Verdict
From the quick price comparison of 3 popular sizes, we can see that the Hoosier Track Attack Pros are on average at least 30% higher in price compared to the popular 200 treadwear offerings from Bridgestone, Falken, Nankang, and Yokohama. While we do expect the Hoosiers to be faster on track, we also expect them to not last as long thus amplifying the cost difference. However, those wanting to set the fastest PB on what is technically still a 200 treadwear tire, may still want to consider them for bragging rights.
