Radial slick

[gnxtc2]

M/T makes radial slicks in the 9.0 width size then jumps to 12.5-14.5 width sizes.

Why can't M/T make a radial slick in one of the most popular size....10.5 width????:confused::confused:

When I was at PRI this past Dec, I asked one of the M/T guys at their booth this same question, his response was "That is a very good question"

Billy,

That is a good question. The current radial slicks are designed for Stock, Super Stock, and Comp Eliminator categories.

I'll say this, the great thing about a radial - it doesn't absorb a lot of power. The bad thing - it doesn't absorb a lot of power. It's important in the 10.5 market to control the amount of "hit" the car gives in order to get it down the track. Radials are not as "forgiving" when it comes to tuneups and track conditions. In other words the tuning window is not as big. Running on 10.5 tires, you are already limited.

With all that being said, we've come a long way in the past few years with radials. With our development going on, and BG's help, we learn every day.;)

Thanks,

Jason Moulton
