RE: Tires

["Albaugh, Neil" <albaugh_neil@ti.com>]

Somebody once wrote to Road & Track asking if changing to wire spoke wheels
would improve their brake cooling. The Columnist responded by suggesting
that the guy try to spray water from a garden hose through the spokes as the
car drove by. At speed, there is so much turbulence around the spokes as
they rotate that not much air gets through. If that is really true,
crosswinds shouldn't affect solid MC wheels any differently than spoked
wheels. I don't have any first- hand experience but maybe someone could
comment on this.
