- We stopped by the Mickey Thompson Tire support trailer during the Lights Out 8 event at South Georgia Motorsports Park to talk tires.
M/T Motorsports Manager, Tom Kundrik; shows Tim the differences between radial tires used for each class in the event before discussing big tire vs. small tire, recommend pressures, bite and tuning as well as how to asses tire wear.

This is very helpful for us that don't race every weekend.
Here comes an old guy comment--in the late 60s when thin-wall, low pressure slicks debuted, they would draw a crowd in the pits. I remember seeing somebody push against the side of a car as we watched in amazement while the car wobbled side to side, wheel rims moving in and out as the tread sat flat on the ground. At first, nobody had tire gauges available to accurately measure the low pressures used. Green Valley, circa 1967.
small tire racing is taking full advantage of today's technology. it all starts at putting down the hp! great video mr. mc amis!
love the vids Tim great info
great video Tim some good info
You know when Tim likes somebody, he will call him a" big ugly fucker" that's gold
thanks for the info..
Is there anything new upcoming? Tim Is hilarious!
Good video, ive been thinking of using x275 on my W201, not sure if it fits, i got to ask em if they have some little smaller to run ;)
what would you advise for a 400whp Fwd turbocharge vehicle our 60fts is really high at about 2.3 . I was considering getting a 24.5 / 8/ 15 Et Drag M/T or should we opts for the Et street R 235/50/15 if thats available ?
been waiting and waiting>ET Street R Radial Tire P275/60R15 ....suppose to be avail. 3/23,or so?
I saw the title and I thought Tim was going to have some horrible stuff to say about M/T.. I was like, what..? haha

15 TO 16 RUNS ON A BIG TIRE?..PLEASE DEFINE RUNS..
I’ve seen big Hoosiers make 400-500 passes before the ET fell off; I’ve also seen folks that put one event on a set and toss em... if your ET drops change them tires
I want to see a radial on a fuel car. It can be done...
Brent Key it can be done but they would blow The tires off every pass
Its doable without blowing the tires off IMO. They are just going to slip the clutch until the tire will hold the power on the big end.
it has been done, without success.
A fuel car requires high diameter growth on the top end and a radial will simply not experience significant diameter growth at speed without distorting with a reduced contact patch and catastrophic internal damage.
A radial also does not maintain a usable contact patch at low pressures. Experimental radials for TF/TAD/FC/TAFC have been repeatedly tried and found to have inferior performance characteristics compared to bias tires.
wont work dude, the tires are the suspension is the tire in a fuel car, it will just blow the tires off the moment it starts to shake
Clutches wouldnt last past 60ft with the amount of slip they'll need lol
at the end, he had no clue it seems about using a decline in 60' as an indicator of tire life.
Get ready to say goodbye to bias ply tires.
AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA...BULL SHIT!
Joe Mamma once they can deal with the speed that a big slick door car pulls yeah they will
