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??? |

The differences between "race tires" (slicks) and AX specific tires has become increasingly blurred.
I agree with Paul except: AX specefic tires don't need to heat up to get their grip. They are sticky righ out of the box.....or so I am told. I won't have personal experience with this for a couple weeks, but I trust the folks telling me this. The new Hoosier are like a "qualifying" slick. Dunno if they would last more that 2-3 laps on a race course....less for the Kumho's if recent reports are true (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) In any case, I would recommend Kumho Victoracers..205 X 15 or 16 as a good place to start. You're gonna get your head handed to ya regardless....don't take it personal, it happens to everyone.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
