Front Runner tires

SSDiv6 · 10-22-2021, 11:30 AM

When I lived in Division 6, anyone who raced at Renegade in Yakima, Washington was at the constant risk of getting a flat tire at any time due to the Goathead weed. You basically needed to have steel sole shoes to even walk through the pits!

All this said, I repaired a few leaking tires for friends and used a patch, never having any issues and the tires continued working until they needed replacement.

The deal with the Goatheads should be fixed, in the pits @ least. They have made quite an effort to be rid of those ....... things.

I know it defeats the liteweight thing but has anybody used a tube to fix a persistent leaker?

Good morning,
I had used Regular passenger car tubes in my Moroso front tires for years when I raced at Westhampton on Long Island. It did stop the flat tire troubles, but tubes add to the overall weight of the wheel / tire combination. I found I was giving up a little after I started racing at Raceway Park in New Jersey, the pits were much cleaner. No balance or handling problems with tire tubes .but yes, a little heavier.

Respectfully,

My GM A body sits on Hoosiers year round, and they lose little air pressure over those months.

I run Moroso DS-2, but I'd just patch what you have if I were you.
