Moroso, Firestone, and M & H frontrunner tires have been used succesfully in LSR as well a Dunlop Vintage Racing tyres which are up to 32" in diameter. M & H diameters are as little as 22" and have run near 300. ZR "street tires" are good to 200 and I've run Michilen HR "Highway patrol" tires in the past to 170 when it was allowed. Under 200 today tires are not too much of a problem but 350 to 400 they are a big one..............JD

Hey, Dennis. We use Goodyear Front Runners on both front and back and they are easily available from Jegs and Summit. I use 29" dia. in the rear and 25" dia. in the front. I have seen cars capable of 225 mph pass tech with these tires. They are very light and have very little tread. The largest group of users are the drag race cars. Obviously they use slicks in the rear and hence the term Front Runners.

Something like Jerry C's SR57 would be pretty slick. Maybe he will make a LSR assualt someday. Chuck

You're right Gary. I often think it would be great to drive a roadster at Bonneville (perhaps a no top 57 T-Bird). Having the bright, hot sun beating down on you would be one thing, but the rush of air buffeting your helmet would be quite the experience.

Charlie, I think for your type of racing that is a SUN roof.
