Anyone running the new Goodyear 3111 35x15x16 Tires?

Considering them for our TD.

Are you happy with them?
Any special considerations?
What tire pressure are you running?

Thanks...

Looks like your going to be the first, let us know how they work. I am an old Goodyear guy from way back when, I would be interested in your results

Is that a high growth construction tire like the 2533 (D2A)? Info is vague on the 3111. 3111 comes in at 110

A lot of time and effort went into developing this tire.
I'm planning on testing a set this weekend.

What's the engine package?

Findings on tire pressure, etc. is appreciated!

Engine came back from the builder today: 632 w/ MBE 11* heads & electronic fuel injection burning VP C45. Hoping to get on the track Sunday if the weather cooperates.

Out of my league but I am curious to know how the new tire works for you.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Made a few hits today with both the Big Bubba and the new Goodyear...had the car set up too aggressive both with rear gear and converter and couldn't get a representative run on either. Going to try again end of the week.

Is it just me or do these look exactly like a Mickey Thompson tire with Goodyear on the side?

Sidewall stands up like a bubba tire does...that is how it looks in the pics...r

Curious of the results with further testing.

Definitely interesting with the fact that on another recent tire thread someone out in Vegas has had some good luck with GY... If the OP had good luck with these, I wonder how they'd work on a typical 4.50-slower bracket car

MT's are still King by far IMO and when I walk the lanes at any TD event, about 99% of the racers agree!

IMO it is the most user friendly tire going by far!
