This isn't ITR related at all.


For drag racing you want a tire with a soft sidewall.

Kumho Victoracers are very heavy tires with stiff sidewalls. Both of these qualities will work against you for drag racing.

I used Hoosier R3S03's at the drag strip and I must say I wasn't at all satisfied with the results. Sidewall = too stiff.
