Kyosho Foam Onroad Tyres
Hey Everyone,
was just wondering if anyone has or does use Kyosho foam tyres for racing onroad?
or if you would use them, i'm in Sydney and am looking to get into some onroad action.

Mild Seven,
im actually looking to import some in from an OS supplier and i should be able to keep the price down, it all depends on "interest" from racers over here really as to whether i do or not!

They are already imported by Bartz RC Partz who are in Sydney. Great tire but not cheap!

GQ aint too bad either if i do say so myself. The Kawaharas are good though, nice foam on them, and the rim doesn't look too bad.
if the kawaharras came with a rim as stiff as the GQ's then....hmmm i'd probably run the kawa's.
Ric has the new yellow rimmed Kawaharras they are a harder rim still (compared to the white ones) and they are very close to the Kyosho rims i've been told by a reputable source. (still not as hard as the GQ rims though from my comparisons)
give the yellow kawaharra rims a go. I'd also recommend trying the GQ's from Kelletts Hobbies they are honestly very good
, ugly
, but good
If you tell Gary Kellett you are a member of the moorebank club he can cut a deal for you on the tyres at a competitive price.
anyone seen the new Jaco 1.5 prism tyres!
they look awesome and have a funky rim which has a 1.5degree pitch on them so you can cut them coned or run them flat so you get more tyre wear. Typical yank foamies though, they are bloody expensive

The Kawahara ZBB "yellow rim" is very similar in hardness and are good value for money at $14 per pair, or $129.99 for a 10 pack. they are available from my website: www.bartzrcpartz.com.au. If you need any more info, please send me an email - [email protected]
PS have you seen the new class that Kawahara is promoting - GPR class? 30mm front tyres, 40mm rear tyres a GP body and front bumper for $79.95! Fits straight onto your RRR, NT1 and MTX3/4 with no modifications! Got to be the best go fast option for the least amount of money! Will be on the web site in the next couple of days.
