Next will be to put the CCW 26 x 11.50 x 16s on the back................another weight savings of 11 lbs on each rear wheel/tire combo, I hope the DA is the same, if not maybe I will have enough time to swap out the rears

Now, what do you think after reviewing my figures. Are they wrong? Am I missing something?
I never had a 'beef'. Or are you talking about that sandwich Sat.

So Steve posted 1st run wiht lighter wheels was 10.97 then swapped back to heavier wheels and ran three 11.05s.
We agree that the weather change of roughly 500 feet accounts for .02 and are trying to determine if the .06 remainder came from the wheels?
I think a 500 da change is worth more like .04 and the 60's are almost the same so I think .04 goes to the wheels
Why, cause I want the same gain when I switch to lighter wheel for Friday.

I may have stretched that 500 a bit. I'm guessing 10 runs a week minimum since April so lets say 320/380.
Thanks for the info on the wheels but I think they are way over priced.

BG, Aiken, Richmond, MIR, VMP,..........I have been a few places racing and I am a data junkie, just ask Julie
Just cause we in VA, doesn't mean we don't how to log and extrapolate data
and if you dont capitulate, your face will be removed from the Kelloggs box to the milk carton as "missing Bob" ( I can only hold Julie off so long)

Bob 320/380 has got to be a WORLD record. Most normal use is 120 runs on bfgs.
Wasn't that 400? Wheels alone gotta be $300.
Want to buy my MT ET Drag radials, no wheels?
