More on tires. SRF Goodyears for IT.

I love these threads - reading them become religious experiences...

With minor mods (window clips, fire system, etc), a Golf can run in Prod classes and be legal on the SRF tires.

I think this is your *simple* answer. Yes really.

If tire cost control were a goal then maybe take a cue from auto-crossers and limit tire tread wear to greater than xxx.

Clap Clap.. there's merit in that statement and *NOT* (edit) just because I was an auto-crosser. I wonder if manufacturers would eventually change treadwear ratings and long wear if SCCA made a move like that.

...I drove the actual race car (also my street car) TO the track ON the ONE set of Toyo R tires I raced on, and slept on the ground at places like Watkins Glen, Lime Rock and NHIS.

Ditto... ah the memories.
