Kansas "News" and Notes: Tire'd Edition



Goodyear is rolling out (pun!) its latest version of the "multi-zone" tire this weekend, after it debuted to rave, well, tepid, well, non-negative reviews at Atlanta.  Here's some features of the new tire:

(and possibly LifeSavers)
--Allows drivers to get up to 5% better gas mileage, saving them about 0.001 gallons per race.

--Will last up to 80 laps at maximum stress levels, or a full season for start-and-park teams.

--Design and appearance continues the long-standing tradition of racing tires looking nothing like regular street tires.

--New Armor-Shield technology makes them impervious to criticism from Tony Stewart.

--No, the chemicals used to make the tires can NOT be turned into meth, Jeremy.

--Has a refreshing minty taste.

--Still won't work in the rain.
