Question

What do you think of the rain tires?

Answer 1

rain tires are awesome i race go karts at 80+ mph in the wka (world karting asso.) we race road course tracks rain or shine i personally like rain better

Answer 2

glad i didn;t watch the whole boring race thanks to the tires  

Answer 3

Great!

Let's use em for Cup guys.

Answer 4

I think Dale Jr is slow

Answer 5

They were better than the tires they brought to the Brickyard that's for sure.

That was a good race, I was hoping they could've finished it..

Answer 6

I liked the racing. Wish marcos could've won though.

Answer 7

i think goodyear tried to redeem themselves after indy and it sort of helped.

Answer 8

I thought the tires did very well!  The ESPN broadcast mentioned that the tires were made in 2001.  Tires have a 7 year shelf life so these were really at the end of their useful lives.

I'm sure Goodyear managed to collect some data from this that will come in handy with future tires, and I hope NASCAR has them build more tires in the future.

Answer 9

Well, still thinking on this one but they held up pretty good and we actually did get to see some racing without blown tires and 10-12 lap segments..lol; still wondering if it is safe enough, just my opinion..

congrats to JR Motorsports

Answer 10

i thought it was actually some good racing. funny how at the very end like 3 cars crashed on the caution lap. good race and you guys should of seen the rolex sports car race there this guy ran out of fuel 50 feet before the finish line and lost the race at the last second.

Answer 11

They'd be good for NASCAR in my opinion, at least on short tracks and road courses. Superspeedways still seem too dangerous to race at in the rain. Can you imagine racing at Talladega or Daytona in the rain? However Bristol and Dover would also be scary to race in during rain.

Answer 12

If more testing is done it could work. Hey Goodyear and Nascar more tire tests??? Or are you going to "assume" that they'll work after all 43 cars run on them for a lap or 2??? Oh wait, you already did that at Indy!

Answer 13

they're wet

Answer 14

it was nice to see them in use in the rain.  made for a differnt kind of race and no rain delay..well except at the end.  

Answer 15

I think they were great, certainly an improvement from Indy. Now I want to see rain tires on speedways in Cup.
