It’s too bad that we can’t make this size work. There are still some legit performance tires in the 15”/50 series range but yeah, they’re ~2” too short which sure would look funny.
Maybe for your situation. Works fine for my setup. Its also quick way to run a bit lower roll axis and cg for autocross and track than when driving backroads and potholed streets.
As far as the Green Brick, yes those are the details whichwere published in the print magazine after at least two of their efforts.
Engine setups varied a bit. They got a little too ambitious on one of the first attempts and had problems.
Rule number 1. To win you must be able to finish, or at least outlast the competition!
Note on treadwear rating. Its based on the other tires made that company/brand. Do not pick tires based only on the TW, the nominal size, or traction ratings. Look at the tread width, the suggested temperature range, recommended camber etc. The last several years there have been an increased number oif '200 TW' tires made to meet competition rules. Many are not recommended to be used or stored under 50*F while some 'R' competition tire with 'only' a 100 TW rating can be used down to freezing temperatures without damage (although not ideal).
