Man oh man you remember how bad some of the earlier prototypes were lol they seem to have hammered it down tooth and nail officially now , good for them
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.
There not under inflated, instead they have two crumble walls that are made for better breaking acceleration and it allows them to grow in diameter when moving
Cleetus mcfarland had that happening on the supra a few weeks ago from memory, jackstand marked the tyre and rim, and after each pass the line was further around, to the point it was about 1/4 turn on the rim by the end of the video
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!
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
@@stoopidhaters it’s not just the torque as the clutch design on those cars slip significantly on launch, even lower power cars do that when drag racing as when the tire flexes and wrinkles like that it dramatically increases the contact path of the tire
It's not a bad tire all it is that they deflated the tires so they get a better hookup so the tire don't spin and lose control that's all you just don't know what your talking about.
I'd figure on dirt tire one side wall be harder rubber with opposite outside wall be drag racing soft. I'd like to see nhra top fuel add another drive axle to the cars 🤔
Could one say that the rear axles and wheels are the only thing connecting the engine to the ground? Thus they act as torsion springs since anything in between like a transmission would snap like a twig.
A dumb a** friend of mine s*** looked up. Bunny car has a low tires, I shouldn't know they keep them like that for a grip when they stand up when they start spinning them back tires. They dropped the motor to tire to the straightway, a dumb a** friend of mine I've explained. I'm no, they keep the tires low like that. But when it's spent to stand them up in a grip better.
Interesting how everyone goes on and on and on about how IC engines are dead etc but electric technology will never reach this level… not in our lifetime anyway… the IC engine is king
40 would be a little much for a car some heavier cars like a crossover car would use almost 40 larger trucks vans use 50-70 lbs front 50 or 60 and the rear 70 lbs of air ..some trailers like usual trailers boat trailers best put over 80 lbs all around if its a 14 ply tire you can go up to 100 lbs
