What tires?
« on: August 14, 2008, 04:22:04 PM »
Is the tires that are used at Bonneville on say a Camaro, the same skinny tires that they run on the front of drag cars? If not is there a web site that sells the tires for the salt?

Thanks

Depends on class record speed.  All explained in the rule book.

  Most of the Goodyears run on the salt look and measure the same as the drag front runners but, they are in fact 300 MPH Goodyear Landspeed tires. I hav gotten mine from Carol Shelby Ent. in the past. That said the drag front runners have and are used with mixed results.  Hope this helps.  Vince
