DOT Drag Racing Tire Test

This video is a little dated (not sure of the year but I'd say it's about 20 years old) but I think it still has some relevance. Heck, it's even got my McCreary Road Star dirt track tires on the list. Best 60' time ever.

Re: DOT Drag Racing Tire Test

Has anyone seen this or is it ancient history? I think the same tires are still being manufactured.

Re: DOT Drag Racing Tire Test

This is true.
But c'mon man. McCreary Road Stars! I still have my set from when this video was new. They're 22 years old. My first 12 second tire.
