Default Tire Test

Today we tried (4) ACR Viper front tires on the Cobra. They were 295/25/19 Kuhmo's. We tried multiple spring rates, rake angles and shock settings. The car pulled 1.57 G with Kuhmo's vs Bridgestone's at 1.35. This illustrates why these tires are not legal in Optima or SCCA because they are in no way a 200 TW tire. I looked at some of the data and saw where average G for .4 seconds was over 1.4. These tires are still legal for Goodguys autox so we will run them at the next Pleasanton Autox. I need to bring a gun to the gun fight not a knife so on go the Kuhmo's. I hope they are outlawed next year because it is not fair to others that are on real 200 tw tires,
