Re: Radial tires
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. |

Re: Radial tires
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.

Re: Radial tires
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. Keith

Re: Radial tires
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.
