dot tires

[justramit]

Our purestock rules state we csn run hoosier g60, american racer kk704, or any 60 series street tire. Is there a street tire that will do better than other two. Was thinking can go with a 275/60/15 and have more tire on the ground. How aboit Nitto extreme drag radial or hankook ventus h101?

No opinions?

If you can run Hoosiers do it.

The American Racer kk704 is a better tire than the IMCA Hoosier g60.

The tire contact patch can be calculated for any tire.
The weight on the tire divided by the air pressure in psi will give the area of the contact patch.

The size of the tire does not change area. It can change shape.

Just an fyi

So your saying a 8 in and 10 inch tire with the same air pressure is gonna have same contact patch? I dont see how that can be

This article says your theory is bunk

a 225 and 235 tire will have different contact patch, maybe very little. becareful going to that 275 you mentioned, lots of sidewall to roll over

[hogracer3d]

The Hoosier Oval Track DOT Dirt (AKA Dirt Bozz) are street legal and have the DOT stamp on the sidewall.
come in 60 series, 245,55,& 65 x 15. great tires, in medium and hard compounds, but spendy nowadays @ $160 ish

[justramit]

Yea i have a bunch of those from street stock we ran but they already said dirt bozz wont be legal.

best dot tire i found was Mastercraft Avenger Gt, I would think a race tire would be better

[Wrenchead84]

[Fox_hunter42]

I've been using Bridgestone tires on my car for a while now, and I have to say I'm quite impressed with their performance. They provide great traction, even in wet conditions, and are very durable. I also appreciate the smooth and quiet ride they offer. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out Bridgestone Tires reviews if you're in the market for new tires.
