Which tire works?

J Stevens · 04-22-2007, 11:07 PM

We are having trouble getting constant 60ft times with our Goodyear #2019 slicks. We have had the same luck at several differant tracks. Does anyone have any suggestions for a better tire in marginal conditions??? We are close to needing a new pair and have thought about a brand change if necessary. Any ideas????

Are those the 30x9 bias ply slicks?
I don't have my Goodyear sheet here in front of me.....

Dave,
the #2019 tire is the 31x 14 bias ply tire.

I've found that you need to work with the compounds available to find the one(s) that work for you.
I use a D-4A compound radial slick which works well in hot conditions with a light burnout, but aren't too hard to work well with a big burnout on cold tracks.

When track temp exceeds 120+, I do a rolling dragster style burnout with that compound.
