Tires tires tires dont worry they are only flat on one side.
Im not shure we should compare a race tire /dot race tire to any street tire if we should stay in catagory as not to confuse  the issue. street tires just are not the same nor will the pricing ,wear ,milage ,grip,our dot hoosiers completely changed our beast into a managable (even underfull throtle) car its like night and day difference.As a past SCCA and Oval champ,As well as Runngun im tellin ya street tires must be for waxers,and guys that dont want the most from ther car,or plain old just cant afford them,and thats fine if thats what they want,really im not putting them down for ther chioce. Anyway we ran alot of Goodyear's Yokohama's General's and Hoosier Td's and commanchies running different classes on oval track they were very grippy,though the transient response of the tire was very slow with a very soft sidewall ,but very forgiving coming to the limit.It didnt feel like you were on a knife edge.I dont like to think about how much time and money have we have spent in the pursuit of great handling cars with tires that provided the best grip for both street and track.We had three different brands of perfomance tires outlawed  at I70 speedway in an effort to slow our car down all our resrch at the time was wasted by spitefull protest.oh well pm me anytime for tire help allways glad  to see our group make an informed choice on tires.WB3
