Off-Road Racing and Your Tires
Baja race vehicles run purpose-built off-road tires, with pressures set for sand and rock rather than for road driving. If you go out to watch, remember that desert tracks and unpaved parking areas are hard on ordinary road tires, because sharp stones can cut the tread and sidewalls.
- Check pressures when the tires are cold, using the figures on your door-jamb sticker, and set them back to those figures after driving on sand or gravel.
- Look for cuts, bulges or chips in the sidewalls after any drive on stony or unpaved ground.
- Read the four-digit date code on the sidewall (week and year). Tires older than about five or six years deserve a closer look even with tread left.
- Carry a tire inflator or repair kit, and check whether your car has a spare wheel at all - many newer cars do not.
