Hello all,
I just want to share some of my experience with the tires. I have been fortunate enough to run them at the KO grand prix at WestCoast R/C. I was really impressed with the tires. First off I only ran the 1 set in the 13.5 class and I did not notice any drop off in laptimes and usually indoor asphalt track can be rough on tires.
thumb up for a good rubber tire !

We mainly sell to hobby shops/clubs with tracks or that hold races. Our goal is spec tire racing and hobby shops are more inclined to accept your tire as a spec tire for their track when they know they will be the ones generating the profit from them. Weather it is the permanent spec tire for the track or a spec tire for one of their big races.
This doesn't mean at some point you won't find them online, because tracks have online stores too. If your local track doesn't carry the tires and you want to purchase them email us at [email protected].
Even here in Italy we have adopted for our racing club, we use the medium, I have tried them with warm temperatures and cold and I was amazed by their adaptation to different temperatures while maintaining excellent performance and durability.
Anyone can post pictures of the new rims?

I thought I would chime in and post my thoughts on these tires.
THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!
I really didnt know what to think when I heard that the Solaris tire was going to be the hand out tire for the KO Gran Prix. When I was first asked to try them I was amazed at the amount of traction they had. And then even more amazing was how run after run they produced the same lap times. A great tire not only for racing but a consistant tire if you just want to try different things during testing.
I ran one set of tires(on each car) throughout the whole event at the KO race without any problems.
If I had to choose a tire not only for duribility but also for cost, this would be the tire!

Last time i looked Rod had the solaris mini tyres in stock but not the touring tyres.
I have to agree with Dan, regarding the mini tyres.
I have used the Solaris mini tyres fitted with a firm insert for the front and rear and they worked very well. Two compounds are availble a Hard and a Soft and come in a packet of four.
Top racing in australia stocks the mini tyres.

New Wheel
During testing did the new softer spoke wheel change the handling characteristics. The top pre mounts are really good with the current dish wheel. Hopefully they will work just as well with the new wheel has anyone had a chance to try them.

I tested both types of rims on carpet, and the spoke ones had a bit more flex/ traction. So, if you need more traction, get the spoke rims.
