as copied from the GGR rules book:
QUOTE Tires: i. Street tires: Any street tire/wheel combination may be used. Tires must be DOT approved. ii. Race Tires: Race tires may be used, but may not be mounted on wheels wider than seven (7) inches or one inch wider than stock, whichever is greater. This leaves open the possibility of cars being competitive on very large street tires. given the choice, what would be better and more cost effective?? wide street tire/wheel or 7" wide rim with race tire are there DOT tires "close" to being a race tire??? |

Mike,
I have offen debated the race slick vs. autox R with others in the past. I even posted the question a month or so ago. If you are speaking of ONLY autox use, I think a shaved, R rated autox tire will be quicker. Here is why, 1. Slicks in our size are not made in the sofest of compounds. Check Goodyear's race tire website. They have a table that has the compounds listed. 2. As stated earlier, slicks take time to come up to temp. On a autox you don't have this time to wait. 3. An R rated autox tire is designed to heat up quick. Now this all changes when you have wheels and fenders that allow you to mount the softest compound. But of course, you just moved up to a differnt class. The debate continues.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Paul |
