The company was founded in 1957 in Lakeville, Indiana, and still has its headquarters there. It all started when two young entrepreneurs from Indiana had a vision that turned into a reality. The founder, Robert Newton, wanted better tires to have an advantage against the other competitors in races. The enterprise was established in an abandoned barn, in which Newton retreaded regular street tires with softer compounds for better traction.
Hoosier followed its mission and in 2016 was purchased by Continental AG for almost 140 million dollars. When it happened, all of the management remained, as well as employees and built-up communities. Both companies share a vision of growth and excellence, so the acquisition added more quality and force to Hoosier products.
With a total of just around 500 employees, Hoosier is producing tires for road racing, drag racing, dirt track racing, rallying and more. If you are interested in these sports and are looking for used Hoosier tires, you are at the right page.

Yes, they are! It is even mentioned in the company’s Care and Safety Guidelines that these tires are for racing purposes only and any misuse can lead to serious accidents. Hoosier tires are produced for use on a legally organized race on a track, and not for recreational street use or illegal racing. Using them on the streets can lead to loss of traction, loss of control of the vehicle or a sudden loss of tire pressure. They are also not designed for land speed record vehicles such as those powered by jets or rockets.
No, General Tire does not own Hoosier, but both brands are a part of the same giant corporation, Continental AG. General Tire was purchased by Continental in 1987, while Hoosier was acquired in 2016.
The meaning of this word when not referring to the tires company is a demonym used for a resident of the state of Indiana. The brand is so popular that now it has the official nickname “the Hoosier State”. They say that it comes from census workers crying out loud: "Who's here?" while others believe it’s much older and was used at the borders. Many companies from Indiana are using the term Hoosier in their name, including the racing tires company we talked about today.
