January car of the month

Belongs to Kevin. Id like to know how fast that turn was becasue the bead of the tire is about come off the rim in that pic. Check your tire pressures.!

that turn was about 50-55 mph. the tire pressure was set to 30psi front 28 rear. Thats about what hoosier wants them at and thats were the car handled the best on that day. On a transition like that one in the picture the car is generating 1.5g Thats a lot of force on the tire. If I mount the 315 on a 12 inch rim instead of an 11 it would be a little less. I cant wait to see what the new set up is going to look like 12inch rim with 13wide tires all around You want to see somthing scary find some old indy 500 video of the tires, thats a lot of side wall flex
