I had better luck with them this weekend than last time I ran them....Im still think my Xpatterns are faster, but Ill be doing some deep testing Wed at the track...
I had a busted bulkhead and my car never got back right, plus I had to leave before my main to catch my plane back to Nashville....
Im sure that this is the right direction for the class....Im going to put a pair on my HPI rims too to see how they act...3 and 6 offset, 26mm that is

Ditto ! Myself and my three road trip buddies found the X-patterns better . More in the track then RIDE's . I'm pretty sure the A main at the Halloween Classic was on X-patterns ,only Bill Sydor ran RIDE's.
Congrats on your VTA win !!! I don't know how you could concentrate on driving while know you needed to be at the airport 40 mins. later !!!

I think they hook up even better than my belted X-Patterns if your track allows you to run Sweep 24mm closed cell foams. I used to have to sauce my HPI tires before to get decent grip, now I don't have to use any sauce with the RIDE tires + Sweep foams and I still get faster corner speed to boot. I also feel that by not having to use any sauce stands to reason the tires will last considerably longer to possibly save even more in long term expense, though longevity is pure speculation at this point.
100 sets were ordered and sold out in a week. Another 100 sets have been ordered. This being a brand new venture, Gravity RC had to gauge response. Kevin K Eric and I were confident there would be a good response, but selling out that quick is crazy. There is no problem getting the tires, but Gravity has to get a feel for how many sets they will sell per month.

Again, all things being equal, the end results may have been the same if everyone was on the same tire, who knows. It does take the guess work out of which tire to run.
Clubs/Tracks still have the ability to use any treaded tire they see fit.
Ultimately, at this point in time, the Spec Tire for 2014, really is only applicable to 3 races. USVTA Southern Nats, Summit USVTA Carpet Nats, Scale Nationals, all of which are USVTA Triple Crown Series events.
It would most definitely be an added bonus if other larger events that ran USGT, used the Spec tire/insert as well.

Just a few thoughts

The only negative I've found so far is , after 10 or 12 runs the stock inserts have compressed in spots . Leaving areas feeling as if there is no insert present .

What offset rim is everyone using? It seems like it's hard to find cool rims with a 0 offset, most are 3,6,9. I plan on using the Protoform Camaro body.
I've never ran this class before and I've decided to throw down with the Pacific North West folks at the TimeZone Gran-Prix in few weeks.

They are about 2 or so weeks away from being back in stock at Gravity. Contact Eric Whiteside at The Track @ Harbor Hobbies in Winthrop Harbor, IL he might have some left.
