How much do you lose in the 60' as the tires get beat up?
MT29.5 x 15S
Was testing last week with my MTs and I seem to have lost about .03 in the 60'
This wouldn't bother me except when I'm running 10.0 index which will be doing next weekend

Thanks

When your that consistent on a regular basis and can tell when you fall off like that the sidewall is gone.I have read about guys that get 75 passes off before they are done.

Many thanks. That sounds about the same for me. But always hard to know if tires or clutch adjustment. Went from 1.35 to 36 to 1.40, 41
Yep, have tubes in them.

Little holes are pretty close to being gone smile

Ordered new tires last week from McCormick, one arrived with a cut and gouge
Couldn't get through to them on Friday.

My cuda I got about 150 runs on the tires and tbey were still good when I parked the car. That was running 10 teens to mid 10.2's at 3500lbs. The tires were Phoenix 29.5 x 11.5w.

My wagon running Hoosiers at only 7.0's in the 1/8 at 4000lbs didn't last 75 runs. I could feel the difference atlaunch. The tires started balling up and one time I would hook the next not so well. Difference was usually only .03-4.

Different tires just seem to last longer. Wish. I coulduse Phoenix on my wagon but they don't have a size that will fit due to their large section width.


Ok
