The history of Hoosier Racing Tire is an American Dream come true. It began in the early 1950's when Bob Newton began a successful racing career on the small asphalt tracks of northern Indiana. Bob was not satisfied with driving on street tires. It was during these early days that he had a vision to produce his own tires specifically designed for racing. In 1957, he decided to begin producing tires by re-treading street tires with softer compounds. The Hoosier name was chosen for their company to reflect the origin of Bob's racing roots on the short tracks of the Midwest.
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. Hoosier produces over 1000 different types of race tires. With hundreds of race winners crowned annually. "Tires Designed for Champions."
