For anyone in France on the 1st weekend of October 2024, comme and watch Turbo Slug Fiero take on a bunch of other powerfull cars. (Up to a 1000HP!?) This will be at the Guiscriff aerodrome on a "no-prep" 1/4 mile track. Should be fun !!

In order to set up the car more like a real dragster for the upcoming races, I've decided to put some big balloon rubber on the rear.
These tyres are really cheap at about 80€ each, but are good for high speed applications. They remind me of the Cooper Cobras I had on my '77 Trans Am, but instead of just being "T" rated, they are good for 270km/h with a "W" rating.
More pictures to compare with the Toyo semi-slicks and the Avons (actually on the car):

Rafe, I know you're into drag racing your car... but do those expansive sidewalls on the 255/60/15 tires in the back affect the Fiero's cornering ability compared to something like 225/60/15 tires?
I like the look though. Reminds me of the tires on the cars of my youth.
