SRT T.E. Tires?

Has anyone that has gone to the SRT Track Experience noticed what tires they are running on the LX's?

Just curious to see if some tire company is using the T.E. as a "free" proving grounds and maybe something is coming up the pipe?

I'll be at Mid-Ohio on the 18th of July to see for myself but I can't wait. I am obsessed!!!

When I attended the first one in Daytona in May 2005 they were running the Goodyear RSA’s. Here is a pic I snapped on that day. Today I don’t know if they’re running something different or not.

In the drag strip run at Watkins Glen in the morning on the 29th, DRY, one of the 300c SRT8 smoked the Michelins through first into second gear, whereas the Goodyears which were on a Mopar equipped 300c appeared to hold better (not spin) and laid down better times.

PS good to meet you Hemiwagn and Jaak.
