Goodyear 4457 Radial

[Dave Cook]

The 2nd gear burnout seems to be a big help, at least the tire surface looks much better.
I may have to upgrade my rear shocks to handle these tires.
I would rather adapt to a tire that I can trust than keep piling up unused slicks.

Finally got the chance to try the 4457 this weekend. We began in woodburn on a MT 3066 which was very fast but had cords showing after 40 passes. The 4457 was not available so we opted for the hoosier co6 30x9. 570$ later we are slow in the 60 and front tires barely lift. Got to sonoma and still the same so after 3 passes the hoosiers are removed for 4457. 60 returned - tires up we are happy. If we can get 80 passes and as fast as the 3066 we will be super happy. Our car is very hard to hook. PS thanks to the Goodyear dealer once again $460 mounted.

MT 3066 1.48 best of 1.45
Hoosier 1.52
4457 1.49

You should easily get 200+ runs out of the Goodyears. This is some good data for people not sure which route to go. I am sure these results will effect slower cars more than faster. However, it is still good, measurable data.

I'm thinking of putting something else on my car, would anyone that is coming to Indy be interested in these 4457 Goodyears?
About 35 passes on them, I'd like to get a reasonable offer ($300 ?), delivered to the pits @ Indy
PM me for my phone if interested, I'll get them off the car this week.

I'm purely a bracket racer, any opinions or data on how the 4457 works for bracket racing? We have been running the Hoosier lightweight radials for 3 years now & get 100 - 125 passes out of them.
