A friend that works at Hoosier posted these pictures. They are still in R&D stages but might be released soon. I'm anxious to see how they are, especially with Hoosier's presence in racing.
ClubMX has a post on them also

Talking with a friend that runs late models awhile back . We were honestly suprised they never made a moto tire before. They deffinatly have the racing background and knowledge for a mx tire. I bet it hooks up great on hardpack and flat coners.

Can't wait, that's probably gonna be a quality rubber

Looks a bit like an IRC M5B except non directional.

I get it and that's funny...& potentially true!
Stoked to see if this materializes.

Looks like they'll be available for purchase in a month or so.

Hoosier is owned by Continental. Interested to see if it's all new or BNG from previous years.

Aren’t Dunlop “American made”? Or outsourced to another branch of Goodyear in a foreign country?

I'm sorry, but...
That's just funny

Yep my grandfather was head of quality control at a plant he worked at for about 30 years, my grandmother worked there for only a few years less. They were my support growing up, played for about all my racing. They moved the plant to Venezuela or some shit when I was on 80's and that was the end for me. Went from riding a 3 to 4 days a week, racing every weekend and hitting amateur nationals to hardly nothing. Screwed them both on retirement, had to go back to school at 65 yrs old to get what they did. Goodyear can rot in hell.

I'm sure we'll be hearing more about them as the East Coast 250 series begins... The ClubMX / Redemption Racing team will be the only Hoosier tires out there, I'm sure
Positively, absolutely 110% obsessed with anything MOTO.

Super interesting. I would love to see some more manufacturers get into the pro support game. Just having Dunlop on every bike doesn’t progress technology. No competition is bad all around.

I stopped into Hoosiers office once when driving by from Indianapolis on rt 31 and talk to a father that was an executive there who's son had gotten hurt. Tony Stewart sponsored him in MX.

That would be Eric Saunders’ dad. Can’t remember his name off the top of my head, they were always at RedBud when Eric was an amateur before he got hurt. Good people.

That's a bummer. Hopefully he got a decent severance package. 30 years is a long time.
