TIRES at the Texas Mile/Houston Mile and US Mile
« on: March 31, 2014, 04:00:21 AM »
I just got approval to use Eagle Land Speed Tires which are only 5" wide from the Texas Mile Tech Director.
This is great because my car was built for narrow front tires.

Also, he approved NASCAR tires for the rears, so it looks like we are going racing....

How did the Nascar rear tires work for traction on the asphalt?
