[DeTomaso] 335/35/17 versus 315/35/17 rear tires

[msm at portata.com]

There are a lot of products on the market that have "race" in their name
but are only race-related in that they come in a box with a picture of a
checkered flag on it.  The 555r are nothing like the tires on a real
dragster, but ... I dunno.  Like that old guy said, you pays you money,
you takes you chances.

Doesn't that make sense?
Drag tires have high-compliance sidewalls so they hold down a big patch
by letting the sidewall wrinkle up something ugly.



...which is what makes them wholly unsuited to a car that will be driven
around corners!
