[quote=HEMI-Fit;384323]Excellent point, mrFroge. Although I don't think there are any excluded tires on the stock class list in the 2008 rules, I think there have been in the past few years due to brand new tires not being out long enough or something like that. Looks like outright SLICKS may not be legal, according to 13.3(H) "Each tire must have non-zero measureable tread tepth (i.e., points where it is possible to obtain positive measurement values) as described in 3.3.3.B." There's certainly a lot more to choosing a set of R-comps than I know about, having never used anything but some sticky Bridgestones and some Kumho MX's. I'm sure mrFroge, MINI-Fit, Skimmer, or Mahout can chime in with the goods, though.
Our 'professional' A/Xer's say that rule eliminates slicks. And that there are local rules that stock class vehicles must use tires with treadwear ratings in excess of 100, or even more. We have heard there's a club in VA or SC that requires at least 200. Sounds good to us. Stock classes aren't intended for such specialization.
