What tyre setup do people find work well indoor on carpet? Our club hasn't got any rules as to make or size (55 or 60d).
On my previous M06 I ran the treaded Pit Shimizu soft compound tyres, which really well for me, but I was wondering if there are any others I should consider?
Sweeps are very popular in the UK with M05's, but haven't seen anyone run them on the 06's..

I personally would say that Sweeps are closer to 55D, comparing them to Tamiya tyres which are 60D.
I'll give the Sweeps a try though

You're right I confused them with the inch up Ride series.
The sweeps measure 56 in diameter. Their rims are also slightly larger in diameter than other m chassis rims, so you're stuck with their rims.
Sounds like you were running the 60D Shimizu which come in S, M, H shores. They also have a Racing Inner Mesh series which are 55D. They are available from 24 shore to 40 shore. They also have a super sticky rear shore. I actually started out with these and soon realised the foam that comes with the tyres is absolute junk. Once my sweeps are done, I plan on eventually testing them out with sweep insert.

I was running them with a medium foam insert, rather than the sponge (can't remember the make though).

I did use the Mazda RX7 & Beetle shell for over one year.
The beetle shell has poor grip in the rear, and this is a big disadvantage, the RX7 is quite ok, but the design of the RX7 is not my favorite one...
i also have the Porsche 914, but did never use it, because i now changed to SWB, i do believe it's easier for me to find the right setup...

this weekend our 2nd Carpet TCS was held.
i stated my setup on a very high grip carpet around 5 pages earlier in this thread. today, the carpet has a little less grip. i had to change tires to S-Grip all around. but still was able to fight against the fastest M-05s.
i ran 16.0 sec fastest lap times only one lap of the m-05s was faster. (15,9)
unfortunately i made to much mistakes, although i did not make much, but they were to much :roll eyes:
6 minutes runs and at the end 1 second difference between 1st-2nd-3rd-and 4th place
so it was fun to driving in with the m-05s in the same speed-league *g*

Aitutaki, Could you tell me where you race in Austria? We spend summers 45-minute drive from Salzburg. Would love to race with you.

So you did a great job again!
On our carpet track,I always prefer the 60d M-Grips over the S-grips, as I found them to have more grip on a carpet surface than the S-Grips, although rubber should be softer. Probably nothing new for you, but if you maybe need even more grip...
Keep on the good work,
Happy new year from Germany,
