FYI....considering Charlie is traveling 170-200 Mph his safety record is incredible.
A reminder that tire blow outs have been the #1 cause of accidents in ORR.
Another reason to keep your speeds under 200 ;-)

Hi guys,
 
Here are a few answers to your questions.
 
Tires. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s.  Front 275/35ZR18   rear  335/30ZR18
Purchased in Feb '12. Were on their second (last) year of ORR use.
Have been using the PS2s since '07 with no problems. The first tire failure resulting in an off road incident in '04 was with Hoosiers.
 
Although the RPM indication went to zero when the tire blew, this was due to the electrical shutoff being tripped which caused the data panel to see no signal which is zero RPM. The engine did not "lock up" but was "dead" just as if you had turned the ignition off.
The data panel continued to function since it is powered by a dedicated battery.
