ive had sorex tyres that come from japan - a mate brought them while on a trip at the end of last year and they have all been even compounds recently i got some from southerncross and they too were even compounds - the pits on the other hand were all odd compounds
but maybe your on to something?
surley zacspeed can sort it out?
how many factories actually make rubber tyres in japan, when you look at the mouldings/construction of sorex, pit, take off and tamiya they are very similar... i wonder if they badge engineer??

Why do you need rubber anyway? Victorians love rubber, but i'll be betting that no one will be using them at the nationals or the On-Road masters (to be held at brush farm 19-20 Oct)

How does the point score work at Brush Farm? How many rounds is it and are only members of Brush Farm included in the pointscore (ie. can non-members win trophies? 
)

Going back to compounds of tires from Japan, as far as I know all the rubber generally comes from the same factory out of Kobe, doesn't matter what maker, Yokomo, Sorex, Pit, Take Off, Ride etc.
Even the Foams that come from Japan eg Kawahara (Zac) the rubber that are in the foams is also from the same Kobe factory.
As for compounds, it doesn't matter if it's Jap or US the compound is what the individual maker decides eg Sorex 20, 24, 28 etc, Ride however has 23, 28, 38 and 43.
Up at the Farm you can't go wrong with 24's-28's at the moment, in the end it all comes down to your driving whether it be with rubber or foams.

From my observation over a few meets there, rubbers in stock seemed to be quicker. Granted that the temperature of winter nights might have had something to do with this. Even the dusty surface may be affecting the choice. Mod still need foams thou.
As for tires my last set of sorex's were even's and weren't as good as the two sets of odd's before that. Iwasn't able to get the odd's last time. Maybe they've changed it all but that's all I found out when I enquired overseas.
Can't go past the Pit's or Take off's thou.
I'm told the new Orion's aren't bad either. They're out of the same factory as well, but are shipped out a different door.
Would be good if a blower was taken up there too.

Yeah, i was doing 18 laps in stock. (the top was 19 or somethin by an f1) I was running take-off cs27's, they work really well at the moment.
Hmm, we should actualy get someone to sweep the track at least (not that i want to!), because all the sand and stuff gets in our cars, and then they get reallly dirty, and that stuff gets all over us!
