Could a new low-buck tire be the silver bullet that so many of us seek? Could it deliver pace and laps but at a discounted rate? And could the new Armstrong Blu Trac Race deliver everything on that wish list?
First, though, a small reality check. GRM is one of the few independent outlets left doi…
Seems like a decent candidate for someone less focused on lap times and more focused on turning more laps.
That sounds like a good tire to use on the street! How's its steering feedback?
Tirestreets have any info on how they compare to the Accelera 651 Sports they also distribute and are also endurance 200s?
These sound like they could be a competitor to Firehawk Indy 500s, or a good substitute for the Westlake RS which seems to be out of production.
I didn't know Armstrong was still a brand. My grandfather was an Armstrong dealer for 40 years going back to the late 1930's. I grew up at his shop changing tires in high school - almost all Armstrong tires. They made some really good off road tires under that brand and Dick Cepak's brand.

You are listing all the reasons why the test is so costly to GRM. I am betting you would have no problem getting a bunch of GRM people to pay you to test the tires. 😁🤪😎
Earmarking this for when my NA needs new shoes.
Not sure if it was just me or anyone else had issues with their web site, found it would not let me search for what was available in 15" rim size. Appears you have to guess at aspect ratio and width first before going on to size. Seems it would be a lot easier looking up diameter than going from there!
In reply to rjracin240 :
It seems most tire websites are like this. I've been drifting for years, which means I go through a lot of tires. I am pretty consistent with the width / diameter I order, but the aspect ratio isn't as important to me. You're not the only one with this problem.
