experience with F430s on Michelins, Dunlops, and Pirellis

"Corsa boss Steve Pruitt said he had talked to Mowlem at the suggestion of Ferrari. He explained that for a team that will be developing South Korean-made Hankook tyres over the next three years, Mowlem's experience of the 430 on Pirellis, Michelins and Dunlops would be crucial."

Corsa: New Hankook tire construction, profile and compound variations

2-28-2008

interview with Johnny Mowlem

"This is a long-term program, and we couldn't ask for a better base to start from as Sebring is probably the most demanding racetrack in the world for any tire, especially in terms of its construction," Mowlem said. "Based on our last two tests, Hankook will be providing us with new construction, profile and compound variations to test during the (Sebring) week, and we should know more about our realistic prospects for this year's race by Wednesday of race week."
