Tires Goodyear or Cooper
Good Year Nordics from Canadian Tire. I loved them, good price, great in slush and deep snow, and Can Tire has a pretty good tire warranty.
Other than the heavy feeling at low speed (and a little bit of throttle fixes that), I think that most of the difference that I've experienced so far can be pinned on tires rather than the rack itself - feedback of the 14" Cooper H rated tires are slow and sloppy when compared to the BFG summer tires on our other car. I do like the faster ratio of the manual rack though, and I can feel the tug of the tires in rutted suburban streets, so feedback is good, if a little muted through the tires.
I've had Goodyear Assurance before but I had Comfort Tread not the fuel saver ones. I would buy again, they were quiet, good traction, stayed round, held air, etc.
My guess would be that NASCAR tires are on the very hard end of the F1 tyre spectrum with the cornering loads/weight that NASCAR has in comparison.
Find the Goodyear trailer at the track. After the race sometimes the tire guys will sell you one over the fence. Got one a few years ago for $5 at Milwaukee.
If you just want a used racing tire, (maybe Goodyear, maybe not), check out your local short track. The one's I've been to usually have piles of them laying around.
Goodyear was selling the "Support Our Troops" tires from Charlotte at the june michigan race last year for $20.
ive got those same coopers on my geo and they seem to do well. but they are clearly an AT tire.
My Goodyears did that after 40k miles/5 years.
Got $150 prorate back towards my new set of Hankooks, which i love
I had bad luck with mine on my Silverado.... the sidewalls seemed weak to me. I had much better luck with Nitto Terra Grapplers.
