Question

Why was tire wear so extreme at the Brickyard?

Answer 1

I t  was Goodyears fault with the wrong compound for that track and the fact that just diamoned the track and made it abrasive.

Answer 2

The tires plus the new car-it wasn't run at the Brickyard last year-I heard there wasn't much testing (if any?) either....

Answer 3

Wrong tires.

Answer 4

It's amazing Goodyear got it right for IRL 500 but totally blew it for the NASCAR race   #20 may be right  Goodyear got to go

Answer 5

Limited testing, in way different weather conditions !!

Answer 6

Buddy there's a number of reasons like the guy said above me, and because the track never rubbered up. NASCAR didn't have testing like usual  before the race, which would have been extremely helpful.

Answer 7

Softer compound tire for safety, in hopes of rubbering up the track in combination with new car, and lack of approval for downforce adjustment.

Answer 8

The CoT had too much weight so it rubbed the tires so hard and created lots of wear. Although you could go and say it was Goodyear for not coming up with something better.
