[QUOTE="STAMPEDE3, post: 10961773, member: 9007"] It is not from the side wall. That is what I'm talking about. And still not credible, One guy said it, another repeated it and another and another. Fact is the ONLY reason DRs break shit and shock more is because of hop. And not even hop that can always be felt as up and down hop. Basically what the pros call tire shake. The tire goes into a grip/slip/grip/slip thing. Soft side walls on slicks soften the hit on the tires and that is it. Once that tire wads up it is full on to the driveline. The sidewall on the DR shocks the tire and sends it into hop which in turn shocks the hell out of the driveline. So indirectly I guess they are somewhat right. There is no way a 1.7 60' on DRs without hop is harder on a driveline than a 1.5 on slicks with the wheels in the air. As said, DRs hop and that is what breaks shit. It is a big misconception that the "Soft" sidewall is what saves parts, there is more to it. The fact that slicks grip and most don't have the HP to send them into tire shake is the bigger part. Sorry I just get sick of hearing the slicks are easier on the driveline than DRs. While slick may not break as many parts (On street type cars) as DRs do the explination everyone gives is too simple and semi wrong at the same time. It gives the impression that just getting slicks will solve all parts breakage and is easy on the driveline. Keep racing and you will break something. No if, just when? [/QUOTE]
