Tire compounds

[keeter57]

We run on a track that gets dry but has a fine dust on it and the compound we have been running (hoosier e mod A-40)just dont seem to be biting all they can,should we run a D-40 on this type of track or stay with the A's. Also we are in the middle of a bad drought so moisture is a thing of the past for now,they water it -it dries up!!!!!

Try an H..........got to keep heat in it though....you keep heat in it and it goes!!! Another option is a Hoosier DCM which is between an H and A. Got to watch roll out with DCM....roll out is close to a Emod 26.5. Goodluck!

What is your tire temp when you come off the track? What does the tire look like? Are you grinding them at all?


I too would try an H but grind it first and then again befor the main. They light faster and work longer.

Lr 125 feathered some d-40
rf 120 feathered good
