Notes: This is the first time Goodyear has brought this specific combination of left- and right-side tires to the track . . . while the left-side code will be the same for teams in all three NASCAR series at Atlanta, Nextel Cup teams will be running a different right-side code (D-4080) to account for their smaller fuel cell . . . this is the only track at which these codes will be used in 2007 . . . the important factors in designing a tire setup for Atlanta are the high speeds and loads, as well as the relatively rough track surface . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Atlanta . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
