The ADQ Online Archives don't have 6/2 , but the have the Q&A page from 7/1 :

C.A.O.
Q. How do these #l%@?! tire options work, anyway?

A lot of people, everywhere
Sorry, my fault Here's the order of modifications:

1.Take a tire (std. HD, PR, or solid).
2. Steel-belt it, if desired (+50% cost, +50% weight, +34% DP).
3. Add Radial (+150% cost, 20% weight, -1 DP) or Off-Road (+20% cost, + 5 lbs. weight, no DP change) modifications.
4. Fireproof it (+100% cost).
5. Put it on a cycle (-50% weight).
Thus, we could take a solid tire ($500, 75 lbs., 12 DP), steelbelt it ($750, 112.5 lbs., 16 DP), make it Radial ($1,875, 135 lbs., 15 DP), and fireproof it ($3,750, 135 lbs., 15 DP). Expensive, but worth every penny In case you're interested, a set of four of these will set you back $15,000 and weigh 540 lbs.

Thus SB Standard tires = 5 DP , SB HDs = 8 DP , SB PRs = 12 DP , and SB Solids = 16 DP .
