CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR and Goodyear officials haven't found a definitive reason for why the right-side tires were wearing out so fast in Sunday's Sprint Cup debacle at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but they are vowing to make sure it doesn't happen again.

The rear tires would start showin cords just after 7-9 laps, then around 12 laps that was pushing it. Very boring with the caution comin out every 12-14 laps, but hopefully they figure something out

the good year tires have been complete and utter **** all season in nascar. It's a BIG problem.
They've started using restrictor plates for the first time in nascar history I believe. Lots of drivers have been complaining about the tires.
Seems to me that driver safety should be the utmost importance not what company gives nascar the most money. Not the best place to be testing tires....

But yea, this tire wear had something to do with these new cars. They also said it has something to do with the way that Indy cuts the asphalt up. Supposedly they are doing diamond cutting or something like that. They haven't had this bad a tire wear problem all season. But Goodyear really needed to test a car well before this event. All I know is they better fix it before they go back to Indy. Come with a harder compound tire or something.
