Hill3 i have no reason to mess with his mind i am trying to give him the benefit of an area of expertise that i have . The points leaders at your track would all go faster if they were on better tires then the Cobras . With a UTOG of 440 and a carcass weight way over 20 lbs a long with the inconsistent tire moulds that Cooper is well known for these tires are best suited for the pick up truck that hauls the race car to the track.
this should turn into a full blown bash sunset thread in about 10 posts....
Spencer shhh don't encourage the combatants... LOL! Hey we'll see ya on the 14th of October dude. Have the coffee pot ready down there will ya?
Now Spencer behave ! I have run Falcon Ziex all year 205/60-14 on the right and 195/60-14's on the left and they stick like glue through the corners. After a race when you measure the softness they are about the same as a hoosier slick which makes them work well. when I arrived at Sunset I was told I could not run them. How ever I guess some guys had them at the first of the year and they let them run them for 5 weeks only I was informed of this by the Sunset tech official. Tech allowed me and my son to run them for 5 weeks only at which point we would have to change them. As far as a performance advantage, I would say there is some. How ever the best thing about these tires is the saftey advantage of them. We all know what happens when a right front blows out going through the corner, into the wall right ? Well with the Falcon Ziex when they blow out the bead of the tire drops to the inside of the rim and with the soft side wall the tread runs flat on the bead of the rim and you can still actually steer the car to some extent. My point is that they make for a very safe tire for racing in lieu of the performance advantage. I would rotate the right rear to the right front about every 4-5 weeks, at $100 each one every 5 weeks is not a bad tire bill for racing.
My Son runs Falkens on his car and he says it the Best thing he has done for his car ,,it even brought his et's Down tto 17.4 and quicker so he is very pleased with them...
