BF Goodrich have the traction T/A ,Racing tires are specially fornulated rubber, some have grooves cut into them for added friction,their are also chemicals that could be sprayed on for temporary traction.

What is slick track racing?

There's a great misconception about tires that says tread equals traction. While it's true on wet roads and dirt, it is not true on dry, clean pavement. Rubber gives traction, not tread. The function of tread is to cut through water, dirt, etc by channeling it into the spaces between the tread blocks to allow the rubber to meet the driving surface. This is not needed on a clean, dry race track, and tread merely reduces the amount of rubber that meets the surface and thereby reduces the contact patch. Racing slicks have no tread and therefore give far greater traction by increasing the area of the tire's contact patch on clean pavement. However, in the wet they become virtually useless because the tire can no longer make contact with the racing surface; hence "rain tires" and off-road racing tires have tread.


What are the best track bike tires for optimal performance on the race track?

The best track bike tires for optimal performance on the race track are typically high-performance slick tires designed specifically for racing. These tires provide maximum grip and traction on the track surface, allowing for faster speeds and better handling in corners. Brands like Michelin, Pirelli, and Dunlop are popular choices among professional racers for their performance and durability.


What are dirt track racers using on there tires for extra traction?

Depends on the track mainly but cutting proper grooves in your tires is a good start


What is better an open differential or Posi rear end?

It depends on the application. Posi is good for straight track racing, or good traction while off-roading, but wears out tires fast on curves and turns.

Why do Drag Racers have big rear wheels?

Drag cars have large rear tires with no tread to grab more traction on the track surface. The rear tires also have lower air pressure so when the energy is transferred to the rear tires (as torque) the tires ripple and even more of the tire touches the track for more traction.


What kind of tires are chosen for race cars?

What does secure track mean in drag racing?

In drag racing, "secure track" refers to a racing surface that has been thoroughly prepared and is free from debris, moisture, or other conditions that could compromise traction and safety. This ensures that racers can achieve optimal performance without the risk of slipping or losing control during their runs. A secure track typically involves proper maintenance, like cleaning and applying traction compounds, to enhance grip and overall racing conditions.

What do they do when it rains on a running track?

this is a good question. it all depends on the type of cars are running on the track. in formula 1 racing, if it starts to rain the cars will go into the pits and either put on intermediate tires or wet tires, depending on the dampness of the track. in NASCAR racing, they will pull the cars into the pits and they will take trucks with jet engines attached in the bed and have them blow the track dry. if it is a public track, they dont do anything


What is the recommended ratio of water to methanol in tires?

The typical recommended ratio of water to methanol in tire setups for drag racing is around 85% water and 15% methanol. This mixture helps improve tire traction by increasing the tire's stickiness on the track surface. It is important to follow manufacturer guidelines and track regulations when preparing tire treatments.
