What is the difference between the 29.0/11.0/15 NRM1600 and the 11.0/29.0/15 NRM1600??

I notice they have different part/stock numbers, but I am not seeing any differences in the description at the online catalog details. Links below:

one is what they call a "white dot" I think its the 11.0/29.0/15 NRM Correct me guys if I have it backwards..

They say the white dots seem to take heat alot better and wont seal over as fast..

Not to hijack, but what does the NRM designation refer to?

yes pajamie, you are right. the 11.0/29.0-15 is the white dot and it is supposed to fire faster. also, the NRM stands for "new rib mold". Hoosier recommends using these tires for most side bite getting in and on tight corner tracks.

Thanks...so given a choice between NRM and C4000 construction tires on a small 1/3 mile flat corner track, which would be a better choice?

So given this tire rule for weekly racing on 1/2 mile with sweeping corners and a promise that it will be slick due to 305 sprint cars on weekly schedule, what would you use given this tire rule:

WRS or WRS2 - Any 55 - Any 1600

Bill, the 1600's or a 40 if allowed. Just keep in mind sidewalls on the RR can change the car switching from a 1600/40 to a wrs in handling.

Thanks, I have some old WRS2's but when I say old, well they are old. I need a set of new so just trying to find out which is the best way to go.
