Drag Tire at 10,000lbs of Torque 😨

[Mike-xtot]

Goodyear definitely has it figured out in drag racing. They still struggle to this day to make a decent circle track tire.

The moment you realize the entire race is actually resting on how well that tire is seated.

That tire is the strongest rubber I’ve ever seen lmfao

Wish i could find someone with that good of grip

[wildhogOW]

That tire is me when someone tickles me.

[NinjaSushi]

That's crazy! Thanks for sharing.

Definitely the biggest safety feature in that tire. They have to keep them underinflated so the tire is incredibly stretchy allowing the car to get immense grip and road contact.

If those were completely full and stout, it would be disasterous if the car started bumping. And one bad bump could make the car very unstable and possibly send it rocketing toward the crowd.

Before bead locked rims, the rims would spin in the tires before they grip the track

That’s why I love 410 winged sprint cars you get to watch wheels fold over like this and it last way longer but not too long like a nascrap race.

The tire of champions since the '70s!

Torque is actually only around 8500 lb/ft, not 10, 000. HP is north of 11, 000.

Actually changes the gear ratio, the variance between sunk and flared puddle at high speeds

No one and I do mean no one expects the sound and feel of top fuel go down the strip for the first time amazing I took my son at age 10 he is 27 now he was hooked

[geekyzombie]

That’s insanity! Thank you for the very unique perspective.

You can see that the tire jumped causing a lack of traction and if you look in the distance the car in lane 2 the wheelie bar is almost in aligned with the car in lane 1.
That is crazy what a fraction of a second from a wheel spin can cause you!

Takes incredible power to make those tires look like a soft balloon.

[Orpheusftw]

I thought the thumbnail was depicting some catastrophic failure...

[rylanwilliams]

show them how the force turns the tires almost square like in the middle of the race! that still blows my mind

[dewaltdrill]

That’s crazy, I didn’t know tires could do that

[BlackoutForReal]

this video show how good Good Year tire grip really is. Even the tire canot held the momentum with that much grip🤯
