60 pound tires? Man, those must be some heavy friggin' wheels! Seems to me the old 'vette roadracing tires only weighed 20# or so. But, then again, maybe that's no more surreal than a NASCAR tire cha

I never hefted a NASCAR wheel/tire, but way back in 1961 (you "old timers" can debate whether 45 years ago qualifies as "way back"), when I was in the garages at Indy 500 time trials -- I had the opp
