Default Re: Polyglas, Wide Treads, and more

My understanding was pace cars were fitted with both Firestone and Goodyear for all pre race activities. Whichever tire was on the car that won the pole position,then the lead pace car would be shod in that tire company's tire. The exception occurred in 1972 when Goodyear has an exclusive with Indy to showcase is new Polysteel tire and as such all pace cars came equipped with G60-14 Polysteel Tires.
