red line tires

[Chevy454]

That's interesting to hear, Colin. Us Pure Stock guys have been talking for a while now about the differences betweeen the Firestones & Goodyears...while we are mostly concerned with traction differences, no one can say for sure which tire is better (yet).

BUT, a couple of racers have noticed that some of the repro tires take a LOT of weight, which concerns them, especially with some of the speeds the Pure Stock and Stock Appearing cars are hitting (PS cars are in the low 120s, but the SA cars are nearing 130mph!). If we buy a set of 4, normally 1 or 2 will need 3 or so ounces to balance, even after moving the tire around on the wheel. Does this sound typical of what you've found? Any advice on what to look for, or remedy this?
