[Land-speed] Tire Diameter

[bobbyhotrods at comcast.net]

Elon, you haven't seen me drive! 
I have Frontrunners on the rear of my car. Every time my motor guy's in the garage he looks at 'em and asks, "How you gonna go fast with those things?" He's getting to me.
A guy here in New England bought the Thacker Shine car and sprung for a set of those M/T's last spring, ran them and then put the Dunlops he had back on..
Other nice tires aren't that cheap either. 
Your point taken, however.
