Re: Video: Camaro Outruns BMW in Insane Swedish Snow Race
OK, silly question time, maybe Jobergg or Arild can chime in here, but why do they run such narrow tires?sigpic -
Re: Video: Camaro Outruns BMW in Insane Swedish Snow Race
Narrow tires with all those stude means more pounds per square inch of pressure and better traction.
Kind of the same reasoning behind truck tires in the winter. Big, wide tires, while great in the mud, suck in the snow because they tend to "float". The narrow tires do a much better job of working in the snow.That which you manifest is before you.Comment

Other than the frigid temperatures associated with this type of racing, that looks fun as hell!

That's right and as you can see on this picture the tire is only a few inches wide.Originally posted by Brian Lohnes

A small correction to the title, it is Bangshift member "Gasfot Sweden" that drives the Camaro.
Me, Jobergg was the camera man.Comment

Man, the Swedes know stuff we don't. That ROCKS. Makes me want (even more) to build my clapped-out '68 Charger into a race beater.
