Prodrift 2011 tyre restriction

[Stonie]

Exactly, people will build more grippy cars!

GRIP FTW!!

By the way i dont think restricting tyre widths is a good idea especially for the men running smaller wheels..

well lad i seen it the las day in mondello in the wet damien mulvey runing r888s on the rear in the wet abso leaving lads for dirt off the line,, like he didnt do anytng wrong nothn to stop him.. tyre treadwear might stop some of this aldo there are ways aroubt treadwear on the rear for grip

This is true so i would agree with this new rule to make the battles closer to try and get more people to events....the other side of this is we will now have to find more mechanical grip to pull away

[yowdy]

exactly as you say car suspension mods on the rear will come more into play to get grip,,

Is there anything in new restrictions that says Tyre Sponsored drivers will actually have to run the Brand of tyre they are being sponsored by :-)

[saff 24v]

just curious on this as im not a competitive drifter but iv heard about pro drivers using grippy tyres on the rear this is for more grip and traction when ya have the power to get out of the corner quicker yes??? so if theres a restriction on the rear tyres it makes it more interesting yes?? ie, equal power equal tyres comes down to the driver and not as much on the car and wat its running.. along with the driver of course.

Yawn! If ifs and buts wer candy and nuts

All pointless convo until the rules are defo me thinks!

As the guys have said,anything that gets the battles closer is a good idea in my eyes

Ah sher run whatever ya want,sher most of the 'sponsored' cars ive seen at the events dont seem to run the tyre thats advertised on the car itself.....
