The NTT IndyCar Series will implement alternate oval tires at its season finale in Nashville Speedway, following trials at World Wide Technology Raceway in 2023. The softer alternate red-sidewall tires will add strategy and options for teams and drivers to enhance racing action. Each entry will receive six sets of primary-compound tires and four sets of the alternate-compound tires for the weekend. Teams have the freedom to use their tire allotment in practice and qualifying. Additionally, a third set of tires will be provided for high-line group practice to improve grip in the second racing groove. The goal is to increase passing opportunities by creating significant wear and degradation in the alternate tires.
