Goodyear 4457 Radial

Larry Hill · 07-07-2014, 07:22 AM

156 runs and counting! Tom Losket checked the tread depth at 153 runs and it checked 4/32". Best 60' 1.29, in my A/SA @ 3410 lbs. 550+ Ft./lbs. torque.

It's the best tire I have ever had on my car, and it looks like it will be the cheapest.

Wow, that's impressive. Can I ask about your burnout technique ?

X2 on the burnout ...

I'll be looking for a new set after this next divisional, might give them a try.

I try to keep wheel speed low, second gear only, so the tire remains as flat as possible and the tire does not crown. Start at 5700 and as the tires clean it will start to drag the engine down below 5600 let go of line lock and ease out of the water while slowly reducing power.

How often are you swapping side to side?

Eight to ten runs
