Trans Am Tire Wear!

porsche917 porsche917 12 years ago

The only thing that was faster than the front running Camaro's in the Trans Am series is the wear on the spec BRM tires everyone has to run for the series.  I have run two races with virtually no practice and my rear tires were so worn that I was running on the crown gear for the last heat of the race.  I have attached a picture of new BRM's and the ones I pulled off of my car.  The worn ones are the smaller ones.  Check your tires before you race otherwise you could find yourself running on your crown gear and not your tires.  You have been warned.

Before the spec tire was made clear to me I had fitted my car with some CB design hubless wheels and some slot.it tires that fit nicely under the wheel wells, but were a MM or 2 wider than the BRMs.

In light of the wear, and relatively poor traction of these tires, for future TAs can we consider a different spec so we maintain authenticity (to a point) balanced against performance?
