The fast-paced, high-thrill nature of every NASCAR race makes most of its viewers seriously curious about the cars, their components and how they work. One of the most noticeable features of the cars is the extraordinary racing tires from Goodyear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
NASCAR tires are bald to maximize surface contact with the track, enhancing grip and control during high-speed racing. These slicks work best in dry conditions, providing superior performance and safety on the oval circuit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A typical set of street tires might last anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000 miles depending on how you drive, maybe even more. NASCAR tires, on the other hand, don\u2019t even make it through a single race thanks to how much they\u2019re put through every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you look at NASCAR tires up close, perhaps the first thing you\u2019ll notice about them is that they have no treads on them. They\u2019re \u201cbald\u201d in that sense,<\/strong> and are often referred to as \u201cslickers\u201d or just \u201cslicks\u201d depending on where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are not street-legal tires, but they make a huge difference on the race track.<\/strong> In today\u2019s article we\u2019ll be exploring reasons why NASCAR tires are bald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
