So speaking with Jeff K last night we were talking about tires. I mentioned what my plans were and talked a little about contigencies. I asked what his thought were on tires for prepared classes. This is direct from him
In my experience, the Goodyear is the fastest tire out there. The Avon is second and Hoosier is third. I use to be a contract driver with Hoosier but after doing much testing I found Goodyear to be better and willing to do what it takes to change. So for my class I will be going with Goodyear. What are your thoughts on this? |

I'm going to follow Trekkor's lead and try running some 13" wheels. Where I AX (Marina, Ca near Monterey) it is always cold. I can never get any real heat into the tires. the 13" wheels will make some soft compound tires available. They will also weigh less and used tires are available cheap. FWIW

FWIW Maybe this has already been covered, but I was thinking the same thing but was told 13s don't fit over stock brakes. What does it take to make them fit? |
