TIRE CARE

Goodyear drag tires should not be stored near high temperature, in direct sunlight, around welding areas, in overhead garage areas where temperatures may reach 100 deg. F and higher, or around high voltage electric motors.

AT THE TRACK

1) Tires involved in a car fire should not be re-used under any circumstances. The extent of damage from fire cannot be determined, even by trained professionals.

2) Screwing tires to the rim: see Wheel Rim Screwing Procedures.

3) With today’s soft drag compounds shorter burnouts are possible which increase tire life.

4) Tires may be reversed for longer life. This may especially be true for radial stock tires.

5) Tires can be cleaned with “Armor-All” or similar cleaner. Brake cleaners are not recommended.

6)

Due to their thin sidewalls use care in minimizing contact with the sidewall and abrasive surfaces during storage and handling.

DIRECTIONS FOR ROTATION

All Goodyear racing tires have an 8 digit serial code. When mounting rear drag tires, this serial should face the right side of the car. In other words, the code will be outboard on the passenger side and inboard on the driver’s side. On the front tires, the serial should face the left side of the car. To extend tread life, tires should be rotated, depending on the horsepower, from every two weekends of racing to every pass as in the case of PRO STOCK cars.
