LRs have been higher since they went to the spec RR. Lowered the RR price since that is what you have to run. Started at $215 each and once all the tracks were on the rule the price started going up.

Economy of scale. They produce mostly medium and H's for right rears. Left rears they have to produce H, RD, D, wing/nonwing etc in a bunch of different sizes. Stopping production to change over machines also adds to the cost.
Not sure where things will end up because the truck assembly plants I work in still run into part and employee shortages. I can see everything continuing to inflate in price or have low inventory. |

Carcass construction is different on the LR tires for wing vs non-wing. Fronts are the same. Was told by Hoosier the Medium used in USAC is the same as the ASCS Medium just without the ASCS markings. Haven’t ran wing is decades so can’t attest to the validity of that.

Wing cars require quite a bit more stagger between the LR and RR tires than non wing cars do. This is largely because of the wing giving the car all of this left rear drive that non wing cars don't have. Ultimately, it's not really possible for us to share left rears without either wing or non wing suffering.
