radial tire in super gas?

ausby · 07-09-2019, 03:43 PM

anyone have any luck running radial tires? ive been running stiff sidewall slicks and I keep beating my sidewalls out after about 100 passes. wonder if a radial will hook until I go on the stop.

A radial track prep is key, which u won't see at any Nats. or Pts. race. As well as they are very unforgiving, if you turn the tire its over. Bad combo for S/G in my opinion.

My 9" radials are great in Super Street. I know that isn't the same as a Super Gas car, but...

that's kind of what I was thinking. track prep would be key. just trying to launch so hard to hit the tree. I need a 2200lbs roadster I guess.

Remember what we talked about this weekend and take it to some one.

my car normally works great. it just all of a sudden does this. I put tires on and im good for another 100 passes. I took some slow motion video of robs car and I think rocks are falling out of his car causing his issue. how many passes do people usually get out of a set of slicks doing this type of racing versus bracket racing? im sure leaving at 5000 is harder on tires than 3500
