Goodyear Tires are not up to par for NASCAR
Goodyear has done a dreadful job making racing tires for NASCAR. When they wear out, they breathe out, or pop like a baloon. This is very dangerous. When racing started many years ago, some drivers cast-off truck tires because they lasted longer than passenger tires. Goodyear should be qualified to make a tire that has more strength to it and deflates slowly as it begins to gap air from excessive wear. What I have seen is that the outside tread unconditionally separates from the rest of the tire and detaches in one fancy piece of rubber when the tire blows out. The whole fag out needs be built stronger. More plys in both the sidewall and the tread are needed to stay the tire together. As tire manufacturers continue to strengthen tires will lower profiles, there is a lot more tread than there is sidewall. The tires set out on to look squared off where the tread meets the sidewall and I ruminate over this is where they are failing.
I recall one race where there were mandatory pit stops every 15 laps to swop tires at the brickyard. It is obvious that the tires were not up to the job on that day. Why can't Goodyear make a decent racing bother that can last twice as long as their current tires do? Perhaps NASCAR should go back to allowing multiple take it out of manufacturers. I don't see Michelin or Dunlap tires exploding at sports car races. Produce back competition, it may be what Goodyear needs.
