[wmjones1985]

has any one had problems with this tire we just swaped to these from the g60's and the right rear tire lost its cap like a recapped semi truck tire does it didnt have 25 laps on it the tread even looks brand new so put another one on and made 5 laps to see how it looked and its trying to do the same thing to it it starts seperating it right wear the tread starts on the side wall?? 3200 pound street stock

i run h500's on my southern sport mod, 2400lb car.
the track ran some g-60 only races and our air pressure was about 5lbs lower with the g60s. The h500 sidewall is really soft and flexible, so you might be running too low and riding the sidewall.
We run 14-16 on the RR with the H500

On a 3200 lb SS, you do not want to go any lower than 18 psi on the right side.

I had 18 psi in rr I believe the soft sidewall and that its trying to run on sidewall because its taking the white off of half the Hoosier?

[72Dubya]

That could be it. You do not want the tire to roll over on the sidewall past the dot in the i in the Hoosier painted on the side.

I guess I'll just try running more air pressure? Thanks.
