Radials, Pueblo end of May.
POLL: Radials or Bias
- Thread starter blamkin86
- Start date
Poll closed? I want to vote anyway -
Bias, HP VW Scirocco
MARRS August 2014 and again this weekend (Labor Day).
Basically haven't gotten around to trying radials, am just finishing off an old stash of remaindered Hoosier slicks and am going to have some clearance issues after cranking in negative camber.
My car eats front tires so I'm hoping the rumored increased life of radials will benefit me.
Ron Bartell's impressive new Summit Point lap record is certainly a good ad for the radials (along with car and driver of course)
Finally - as a data guy I'm most interested as to the where and why of how the radials are faster - is it cornering, top speed or both? Are they heavier or lighter?

:roll: WOW, I completely missed this!
Not that it matters much at this point but I've been running the radials since 2012, last time was at Daytona 3 weeks ago.
