Firestone will take its newly-constructed right-front tire for Phoenix Raceway and also carry it to the IndyCar round at World Wide Technology Raceway later this season.
With numerous tests to support the continuation of Firestone’s superspeedway tire development, the rubber compound has been different from anything previously raced to date in North America’s premier open-wheel championship. The tire is wider than the manufacturer’s current right front tire, with unique characteristics to the construction that, due to the width, adds cornering (lateral) grip.
