With all the tire wear issues at Indy last week and probably more at Pocono this week, I'm just curious how thick the quot;treadquot; surface is on the Sprint Cup tires. Anybody know?
Well even though they had tire issues Indy i dont think there will be any issues at Pocono. Exspecially if you look back at the last race there. And no i dont no the thickness.
Im okorder but I don't feel like looking. Let me know if Im close. Here I found it quick but they don't include tread depth(or lack of tread). Tire: Goodyear Eagle Speedway Radials Number of Tires: Left-side -- 1,575; Right-side -- 1,575 Tire Codes: Left-side -- D-4170; Right-side -- D-4172 Tire Circumference: Left-side -- 87.3 in.; Right-side -- 88.6 in. Technical Inspection Inflation: Left Front -- 26 psi; Left Rear -- 26 psi; Right Front -- 36 psi; Right Rear -- 36 psi Minimum Recommended Inflation: Left Front -- 16 psi; Left Rear -- 16 psi; Right Front -- 37 psi; Right Rear -- 33 psi Estimated Pit Window: Every 32-34 laps, based on fuel mileage.
Condition of track and difference in surface at Indy didn't seem to be as thoroughly considered as it might have been. Pocono entirely different set of parameters on tire wear experience. One cannot always predict what is going to influence the outcome of a race before the checkered flag is dropped.
they get their worst tire wear at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, because of the track surface design. They already have the Pocono track figured out because of the track surface, and I don't think they will have that problem at all at Pocono. I don't know how thick the tread is on the tire. Pocono will be a fun race to watch. If your inspired by the technical aspect of NASCAR you'll love Pocono
