Notes: This is the same combination of left- and right-side tires that Goodyear brought to the NASCAR Nextel Cup/Craftsman Truck Series weekend in June . . . this is a popular set-up in the 2007 tire lineup, being run at many major NASCAR tracks — Michigan, California, Dover, Kansas and Kentucky (Busch and Craftsman Truck only) . . . in addition, this left-side code (D-4078) is run with a different right-side at Chicagoland, Texas and Homestead this season . . . while the left-side code is new this season, this right-side code (D-4062) was run at Michigan, Dover and Kansas in 2006 . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Michigan . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
