I was talking with Roger Kraus racing ordering up some tires and it turns out he can't get R210 cantilevers as the new 2004 book no longer lists them. I like the R210 compound for auto-x. He can get a "non-catalog standard R270 compound which isn't listed in the general Goodyear websites but still available along with the R430 canti's.
May not have been enough demand for the real soft compound slicks as they are primarily a road race tire. Too bad...they were pretty sticky... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Anyone heard anything? Bill P. |

I just finished talking to the Goodyear rep at PIR yesterday as I needed to order a new set for the HSR-West event at the end of the month. He said they have a new compound which is slightly harder than the very soft ones (R210) as Goodyear did not like the ones that were initially made and tested so they changed the compund slightly. I would doubt there will be much difference, as he said they are pretty close to the same hardness but handle heat cycling better. That makes me happy as I usually do not wear them out, but get them brittle and they end up with a wear rating near 300 or so!!!
