Is it just me?

Is it just me or does it seem like there's been more flat tires this year then years past, not necessarily whoever's leading just guys running in the top ten thruout a race? I know the surface has alot to do with it an I get that but, just seems like it's way more common anymore, even in features with 50 laps or less. Just thinking to myself an wanted your alls opinions?

One thing I've wondered about is that fact that the cars now run more horsepower than they did in years past. To my eye it looks like that has brought a lot more wheel spin and tire wear. So with that said has Hoosier kept up the durability to match the increase in power? I have no idea. The results sure don't seem to suggest so and they don't seem very inclined to address it at the moment.

Appreciate the response, kinda tend to agree with you an haven't put much thought into the added horsepower/cars more hooked up then they ever been.

Just a thought. Maybe there just building up a lot more heat in tires. Making them easier to puncture.

Maybe they could get some tips from Trojan?

I hope not. I only found the base ring one time. Had a sick feeling afterwards! hahhahaahaa
