It looks like the Sweep drivers of the Pacific Northwest have created quite a stir, because I saw LOTS of yellow rims yesterday at the track
. The tires performed awesome. I love the fact that tire warmers are usually not needed as long as you choose the correct tire compound. I used EXP30 premounts in the morning until the track temp got to about 100 deg F. Then I switched to the 36s with great success. I had a little trouble in the main because of a mistake I made though. The track cooled significantly and I didn't think to change back to EXP30s. Car was still very fast in the later half in the run though.
Another hit was the Sweep X3 traction compound. Compared to tweak, it is exactly the same from the beginning of the race to the end. Tweak tends to be really aggressive up front, then fade away later in the run. Many people loved the sweep traction compound as it worked on just about any tire you put it on as well.
I think we'll be seeing a lot of people ordering up sweep tires from now on
