I've heard they will wrinkle, actually. They're also very lightweight.



They are not for street duty, two grooves around the diameter just like the R-coumpounds.

I figure I'll just have 'em on to drive to and from the strip. It's not like we go if it's going to rain anyways. Sounds like they'll be fun at the strip.

hoosiers are mad to wrinkle, its what theyre supposed to do on a hard launch.



instead of slippin they wrinkle and jettison you forward, helps your 60' times, kills your drivetrain.

Exactly the opposite actually, wrinkle wall tires cushion the launch, allowing the shock to be spread out and therefore lower.

Yeah, I figure anything is better than wheel hop, which is what I tend to get on street tires.

Well, here they are. Mounted and balanced and ready to go.



I guess we'll put the new set of wheels on the back burner for a couple more years.



It sucks being a responsible parent.
