New tire for UMP in 2016?

[Renegade Cust Susp]

I loved the a-40s... however if it is the same as the wissota 35w. It will be almost the same tread patter and according to the Hoosier durometer spec chart it's just slightly softer than a g-60/H40. but harder than a d55 you would see on a DLM.

The 35w tire is a very good tire. Always seems to refire, good traction, only time Ive seen any problems with them is when the track rubbers up then they can have some wear issues but this was the excption. This was on a very abrasive track that rubbered up very badly.

I would be all for that tire.

If its same as Wissota then this could be trouble since I have yet to talk to anyone that runs Wissota that has anything good to say about that tire.

[wildfan1976]

I dont know who you talk to up in the Wissota sanction but I still think its a good tire. We did have some trouble with them a couple of years ago but Hoosier changed something in the formula and never told anybody about it until everybody started to have severe chunking issues with them. But since then they have been good.

The reason they chunk is some people over sipe and sipe to deep which is the major cause.

[sirleafalot]

another key issue is...when the heck was UMP going to announce this or put out rules....USRA and others already have everything out, seems like UMP just lets it all leak out.

[backspace]

You really never thought it would be any different did you? UMP ,,no rules,,no balls,,but of course they don't need any either

[Baddboy1]

Was told IF the tire is this year the price in Central Illinois will be $120.Great savings! NOT

[rustymod]

wake UP promoters UMP needs to be gone, or racers will be gone make a choice, but the status quo with the NC race group running things is not working and has not been working. Tire rule sneaking out on msg boards and no official rules. WTF, the other sanctions can at least get rules out. UMP is either not concerned about midwest mod and bmod racers or they are incompetent but either one is not good and they need to go.

one tire helps, the bigger issue is that ump is doing little or nothing to communicate, so there are likely racers unaware.....also most would consider there tire options once they knew a new tire was coming in June/JulyI would have to agree with other posters, usra techs and has rules out before the season, they would allow spoilers, promoters ditch ump.

[shockmod3x]

anyone that runs ump should not been stunned by any of this

[team jarvis]

gee guess once everyone buys up some more d's and A's that they can only run till June or so, then ump will let us know officially that they have a new tire and you cant run the old ones.
