A return to Kansas Speedway means NASCAR Cup teams will look for speed while maintaining grip. Along with car settings, teams adjust air pressures to help achieve that. Tires with lower air pressures over-deflect more, potentially damaging the sidewall to the point of air loss.

With sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-70s at Dover Motor Speedway today, the concrete track surface will take rubber quickly. That will open up a second, higher groove for drivers to run in.

Goodyear's 'Option' tire for the Cup All-Star race has the same construction as the Prime tire, but will feature the more tractive tread compound that Goodyear uses on its wet weather tire for Cup competition, just with a “slick” tread and no tread pattern.

Goodyear will bring both Prime and Option tires to the NASCAR Cup All-Star race at North Wilkesboro. Both tires came out of a test at the track in March. The Option has a 'softer' tread compound - will add grip & wear more, making tire management a bigger factor for the drivers.
