Radial tires
 
Are the new Goodyear 9 inch radials the fastest tire and how about reliability and longevity. Thanks for input

I get great life out of the Goodyear’s and the car hooks if we have any kind of track for the pink car 3200# car with close to 600 ft/lbs of torque. On Dumbo I have not gotten the repeatability down with the longer wheel base and heavier car with 100 more Hp.
A 100 plus runs is not a problem. The service and support at the track is very good.

I had 96 runs on my Goodyear tires on my A/SA 2019 Challenger. Like Larry said, the longer wheel base can be a challenge at times, but I was very happy with them.

Mark,
I went to the Goodyear's on Terri's Nova and will NOT go back to the Hoosier's.
They are as fast and last much much longer.

I put them on Terri's new car as well when I moved her to the automatic.
I won't run anything else.

Glenn if you do a search Larry gave all that info in the past. It sure is worth a try.

Glenn it’s the big tire 94” roll out. With the taller tire I think I get more of a contract patch due to elongation on tire deflection. For me and the car to be in the 3200# range I have to be in the 250# range.

Goodyear recommends a 9" tire width maximum. Are you using 9" ? What Goodyear compound have you using ⁿ0 and like for your weight car. ?

9" rim width I meant.
