I went to the Salt last year and tested different tires. My best results
were with the 12" wide "Rain Tires" that NASCAR used at Japan. I spun
twice testing the Daytona/Talladega tires I grooved and once cause I
couldn't take my finger off the NOS button.
Mayf could probably give us an equation as to what fluid (air being a
fluid) handling characteristics that particular tire has. Me I'm just a
converted redneck and I know what worked for me. Wishing I had a dollar
for every time I did something someone told me I couldn't.
I'll use skinny tires on the front of the Merk but I'll try to fit those
rain tires in the back.
Best to all,
Grib
