Firestone Racing heads home to Ohio for the Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course, round eight of the 2023 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season.
Each entry will receive the following tire allocation:
- Primary (black): 6 sets per entry*
- Alternate (red): 4 sets per entry
- Rain (gray): 5 sets per entry
- *Rookies will receive one extra set
The tire construction and compound is the same as this race last year. Cory Williams, Firestone Racing Principal Program Engineer, on INDYCAR tires:
This will be the second time we have brought these track proven compounds to this event. In last year’s race the drivers preferred the alternate tires over the primaries. The alternate tires provide an increase in grip which is beneficial for this track with its lower grip weathered asphalt.
