[@NCPDFSB]

small tire racing is taking full advantage of today's technology. it all starts at putting down the hp! great video mr. mc amis!

[@Hopeless_and_Forlorn]

Here comes an old guy comment--in the late 60s when thin-wall, low pressure slicks debuted, they would draw a crowd in the pits. I remember seeing somebody push against the side of a car as we watched in amazement while the car wobbled side to side, wheel rims moving in and out as the tread sat flat on the ground. At first, nobody had tire gauges available to accurately measure the low pressures used. Green Valley, circa 1967.

thanks for the info..

You know when Tim likes somebody, he will call him a" big ugly fucker" that's gold

been waiting and waiting>ET Street R Radial Tire P275/60R15 ....suppose to be avail. 3/23,or so?

[@Hipsterinbenzworld]

Good video, ive been thinking of using x275 on my W201, not sure if it fits, i got to ask em if they have some little smaller to run ;)

[@tousseefharoun2746]

what would you advise for a 400whp Fwd turbocharge vehicle our 60fts is really high at about 2.3 . I was considering getting a 24.5 / 8/ 15 Et Drag M/T or should we opts for the Et street R 235/50/15 if thats available ?

[@TheBrokenLife]

I saw the title and I thought Tim was going to have some horrible stuff to say about M/T.. I was like, what..? haha

15 TO 16 RUNS ON A BIG TIRE?..PLEASE DEFINE RUNS..

[@patrickharper9297]

I’ve seen big Hoosiers make 400-500 passes before the ET fell off; I’ve also seen folks that put one event on a set and toss em... if your ET drops change them tires

[@slowpoke96Z28]

at the end, he had no clue it seems about using a decline in 60' as an indicator of tire life.

[@brentkey4701]

I want to see a radial on a fuel car. It can be done...

[@OskarasNauseda]

Brent Key it can be done but they would blow The tires off every pass

[@brentkey4701]

Its doable without blowing the tires off IMO. They are just going to slip the clutch until the tire will hold the power on the big end.

[@patw52pb1]

it has been done, without success. A fuel car requires high diameter growth on the top end and a radial will simply not experience significant diameter growth at speed without distorting with a reduced contact patch and catastrophic internal damage. A radial also does not maintain a usable contact patch at low pressures. Experimental radials for TF/TAD/FC/TAFC have been repeatedly tried and found to have inferior performance characteristics compared to bias tires.

[@bigcncguy]

wont work dude, the tires are the suspension is the tire in a fuel car, it will just blow the tires off the moment it starts to shake

[@kansascityscarecrow]

Clutches wouldnt last past 60ft with the amount of slip they'll need lol

[@KobaBlack113]

Get ready to say goodbye to bias ply tires.

[@joemamma4324]

AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA...BULL SHIT!

[@souqmadiq4835]

Joe Mamma once they can deal with the speed that a big slick door car pulls yeah they will
