which falken tire IMSLOW? maybe you should go onto their website and do some research and/or ask tech why they are not allowed. Sunset is not the only track to not allow the use of these tires, i have a very good understanding of why they are doing this but those are not the only tires around

I usually run used tires that i get for free at a tire shop, but its gotten to the point where ive got my car dialed in and everytime i try a different tire i have to try new things all over again...next year i think i will be buying all new tires, just so i dont have to change my setup all the time...that being said i have recently priced out good tires that i heard worked pretty well for oval track racing..and the Falken was the cheapest.....i know guys that buy a new tire every week at about 125-150 bucks a pop..IMO thats a little far for 4cyl racing considering a payout is 30-150 bucks....ive also heard that the falkens last a pretty good amount of time.....so why the track wouldnt let us run a cheaper tire that we'd have to buy every few weeks instead of every single week is a mystery to me....their explanation at the winter drivers meeting was that every falken tire was rated as high performance lmao! that doesnt mean that you cant buy a goodyear, yokohama, toyo, michelin,bf goodrich and so on thats not rated high performance...infact i see tires that are known as "high performance'' at the track every weekend...the only thing stopping me from going and buying a DOT hoosier is the fact that may not have an H rating...

SUNSETS TIRE RULE

No racing type tires or snow tires allowed. DOT approved radial tires
maximum size 215R in 60 or 65 series, 225R in 70,75 or 80 series tires
allowed. Passenger car tires only. No recaps or performance tires. Speed
rating limited to S, T, U, and H. No tires to protrude outside of body.

first of all a term like"racing type tire" is too vague.. whats considered racing type and whats not
2nd of all i see tires out there that have V ratings so obviously the rules not inforced anyway
3rd of all NOWHERE does it say no Falkens...they just expect us to know that...whats stopping a new guy from going and buying falkens and gettin to the track only to learn it was a waste of money because he cant run them

Heres a few facts about the Falkens . The hardest cars on tires are the FWD cars with a welded differential , they rip the right front to hell in no time . Go ask Carcone and Zinke they have both tried the Falken and have not found any tire that lasts as long . At Barrie Glaze is running Falkens that he bought off a guy from Sunset that are now 3 yrs old and Glaze has 3/4 of a season on them at this point if he has not replaced them yet. Falkens do not give you a big performance edge over the other tires they just work better longer and provide relief to your wallet . I would like to hear from those who don't like the Falkens and hear why ?

i find that new tires take a couple weeks to come in and work nice! but that's at Barrie! hey maybe they should resurface the track and you guys wouldn't have to go through so many tires! I have run the same right front tire all year and theres still another half season if not more left on it! I use Cooper Cobras! they hook up really well!
