SOREX tires
Hello.
Just wondering what you do to the Sorex **R series tires. I noticed what you need about 5 runs to "break them in" before they actually grip. Is this true?

Not really, I just make sure they have a slight gap between the tire and the insert and they grip like hell from the get go. I say this because I have had first hand experience with what happens if you have a tight tire/insert combo.... I usually use Yokomo med or firm or Echo inserts...Sorex actually has their own inserts too that should work well.

The info that Speedtech provided about the inserts said "B" for stock, "A" for modified. So since I've never used those tires or inserts before, I took their advice. So since we mainly do stock class, I went with "B".
I would rather they list them as hard or soft......or something I can relate to better than just Stock or Mod.

You cant go wrong with either tire, Sorex or TakeOff. I have them both and they both ROCK!!!
In my Sorex 36r i have the green hpi insert, but just got a set of 32 and want to try the Echo insert.
For the TakeOff, i use the insert that comes with it. I think it is their medium compound. I have teh 27 and 22 for winter racing.

I use sorex tires here and they HOOK UP!!!! There is no need for a "break in". I used the sorex inserts first and they worked real good...but when I got some new ones the store was sold out of sorex inserts, so I used HPI inserts...worked even better.
I've used the 28Rs, 32Rs and 36Rs and havent worn any of them down yet. I have AT LEAST 40 packs on my set of 32s and they still look new...and still HOOK UP.
Can't go wrong with Sorex!

Darkseid, just another tuning option. I have been running echo reds in my last two sets of sorex, but have a set with sorex A inserts. Apparently they are more aggresive than the B. Yes, the B's are thinner and I think softer too.

Modena > What kind of surface do you race on? Which HPI Inserts have you used? I have a new pair of 32s and can not decide what insert to use, Sorex, HPI, or Echo.
Dark > I believe Echo is imported by Shcumarker (SP?), the same people who import TakeOff. I have never tried them, but people around here say they rock.
Speedo > Which Echos have you used? I beleive there are two kinds, one kind just came out and the other ones are from before.
thanks for the info in advance....

Sorex do 4 inserts, Medium (grey) in type A and B. Then firm (Black) in A and B.
