USAC Tire Rules
 

Did USAC change their rules on tires and allow other brands to compete? Noticing a lot of American Racer tires in pictures of sprint cars down in Florida.

They were always allowed on the fronts and left rear.

Re: USAC Tire Rules
 

I was unaware they were allowed in sprints. I know they have not been allowed in midgets. Does anyone know if that has changed for 2015?

I bet you will see a lot of cars running only the mandated Hoosier on the right rear and the rest American Racers. I just bought 2 new fronts and 2 new left rear American Racers for almost half of what it would have cost for the same Hoosiers. That's around a $600 price difference... Budget racer or not why wouldn't you try and save that money or at least buy 2 sets of new tires.

But I thought these tire rules were supposed to save racers money? 😮

Wow! Where are you buying tires? I'm not stirrring the pot at all. I want to know. When we have bought dirt tires, the Hoosiers were always within $10 for fronts and $20 for rears.

I got mine from Micheal Koontz, I may be a little off on the Hoosier pricing but I know it way more than $10 or $20 a tire. With the price of racing if I can save $100 buck a set I'm going to to take the $100 and use it to go to the track. I know you're not trying to stir the pot, Call Micheal or Travis and get the price and compare.

Our series mandates Hoosiers on all four corners with the RR being a spec compound. I would love if even the LR was open.

Twin Cities Raceway Park will be Open Tire and American Racer Tires work great there! On average save $30-$50 a tire with American Racer!!! It makes sense!!
