I just found out that SVRA no longer approves Yokahama A048 tires. Seems =
they have adopted a rule that any tire with a UTQG rating of over 100 is no=
t acceptable regardless of size or group classification. Since most all of=
the other sanction clubs use the SVRA tire rules it is important to us all=
. That leaves those of us with 15" rims and a 60 profile requirement wit=
h only one tire that is legal, Hoosier Speedsters. This is something we =
should try and get them to change. UTQG ratings brought about by Gov. DOT =
regs is not a equal comparison of the "stickiness" of tires between manufac=
turers, it only relates to the comparison of compounds within any given tir=
e manufacturer and is not an equal comparison between different manufacture=
s. For example a Toyo 888 with a UTQG rating of 100 is not comparable to a=
Yokahama A048 with a UTQG of 60 just because of the rating.. One cannot s=
ay that the Yokahama is more "sticky" than the Toyo just because of the UTQ=
G ratings. The UTQG ratings of Yokahama tires only compares the "stickines=
s" between the A048 and other Yokahama tires. The process involves a manuf=
acturer running a few thousand miles on a test track in Texas with what eve=
r tire they choose as their base model, measuring the tread wear and then t=
esting their other compounds in the same manner. If the other compound tir=
es equal the base test tire's wear they are rated UTQG 100, if the wear is=
more they are rated less than 100 or less more than 100. So if a manufact=
urer chooses a softer compound as their base tire their performance tires e=
nd up with a higher UTQG rating. Who knows if Yokahama and TOYO used base=
tires with the same compound. Based on the performance of the Toyo tires =
I would say they are more or less equal to the Yokahamas regardless of thei=
r UTQG ratings. [{Toyo does not offer a 205 60 15]Of course, every where el=
se in the world 50 profile tires are allowed which would give use a better=
selection, Toyo for instance and I understand that Avon may also have a 20=
5 50 15 tire. I now relinquish the soap box to those of you that may want =
to comment....Cheers!
