GOODYEAR IS RUNNING CAMBERTIRES CHECK IT OUT:
BRAD KESELOWSKI CONTINUED – CAN YOU EXPAND ON WHY YOU THINK THE TIRE THIS WEEKEND IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE FUTURE OF THIS SPORT ? “This is Goodyear’s first race for the zone-treading, zone-compound tire that has two different compounds in it, whether it’s a hard compound-soft compound kind of laced inside the tire . The technical explanation of that is basically a tire runs with camber, so it’s an angle, and when a tire runs at that angle the inside edge sees a lot of heat, a lot of wear , a lot of stress that has all been amplified by this new car because of the increased speeds. To compensate for that, it requires Goodyear to come out with an even harder compound for the tires to utilize, so that we don’t blow them out and knock the wall down. As we run harder compounds there is less falloff over the course of the run. With less falloff over the course of a run, it kind of takes away from the significance of a driver’s ability to manage his car, along with a crew chief’s ability to put in a setup that uses different management skills.
