Troy you must be the only guy running them
It’s has to be faster.
It’s been said a radial tire could be 1 tenths faster. Than a bias ply
Good job

Good job

Their is quite a few stick cars running them. Markus Svennson was testing them back in 2019.

What rpm difference is there at the top end between bias and radial with the same rollout for each?
