Can't they make or ya'll use a stiffer sidewall tire like for a heavy car - or will they not hook right then.
I'm just curious, seems like a pretty big danger factor built into a high powered 10.5W car.

Charles its got to be the make up in the tire design..its 10 inches wide but its 33 inches tall.... :shock: .. on top of the High HP the cars are making ...With launches sub 1.10's...and the cars being over 3,000 lbs


Most Guys racing a serious schedule in this 10.5 class are looking to change tires at the 10/15 pass mark ( $500 a pop)


They are working on this tire so i hear cause it's so dangerous.


Man it just happens so fast...1.11 60ft and a 2.99 330ft...only way i can describe this is " SITTING STILL at a red light and a Dump truke hitting you in the back bumper running 55 mph"
