DOT approved radial tires with maximum size of 215R60 X 14 when 14" tires are used and 215R60 x R13 when 13" tires are used. 60, 65, 70, 75 or 80 series tires only. No recaps. No light truck, specialty or racing tires allowed. Passenger car tires only. Speed rating limit no higher than T alphabetically. All tires are subject to approval by Official in charge. No mixing of tire sizes allowed. Example: If running 13", all four wheels must be 13". 15’ tires allowed if they come stock on year, make and model being raced.
This is the new tire rule for the 07 season ,unfortunately its different then everyone else rules and I wish they had of gone with the Falken Azenis like Peterbourgh since they are the most inexpensive at 87 bucks each but thats just how it is .
There are several things I am not clear on and maybe someone here can clear them up .
1- Why would they say you can run a 215/60/13 T rated when that tire does not exist nor does a 205/60/13 T rated and there is some question if 195/60/13 T rated is even being produced anymore ?
2- Does the new rule mean you cant run 15 s on Mustangs anymore since according to Ford 15s were never available on 4cyl Mustangs ?
3- Is there no minimum UTOG that you are allowed to run as long as it is a DOT - T rated tire ?
4- Maybe I am over looking a make and model of car that is legal to run at Barnie in the 4cyl class but it would seem there is no car that came with 15s on it that meets the class rules .
Anyone have the answers to these questions ?
