[Shotimes] 235x45x17 tires

[Mark Nunnally]

Blackhawk was probably the easiest track on tires I've ever been on.  It had
a smooth surface (pretty grippy) that didn't tend to "grind" on the tires
bad.  The race rubber showed hardly any wear.  Far cry from tracks like
summit point that just chew them to pieces after 1 day.
