RP Racing tires
 

Who has used them? How are they? How do they compare to others? I am thinking about using them for mod TC at an outdoor asphalt track. 36? 40?

The RP tires work well. They do have less side bite than Sorex but do have a slightly wider temp range. On moderate to high bite carpet & asphalt they are generally as fast as Sorex, in some situations better. The RP tires have a more stable feeling to them and can increase a push if your car already has one. Chassis setup should be similar to what you would run with Take-Off tires.

So who manufacture RP Tires? I love them, I am the only one with them at my club and guess what, it has been a complete landslide in result. I race stock and with the RP30 I somtimes warm them for a couple of minutes before the race and gosh, they are simply better than anything I have tried.

there are made by the same people takeoff tires the were told to me their are better than takeoffs more traction

I wonder if they have a overseas distributor in the Australia/New Zealand area. I really would like to get them more readily, not having to order them from Hong Kong.

Yes, RP's are made by TakeOff and imported by Schumacher USA. Have your local dealer contact us for more info or contact us directly for a dealer near you:nod:

RP tires are made by Take Off. Take Off is distributed by Schumacher. Check out www.racing-cars.com.

I enjoyed using the RP 32's on indoor asphalt. Nice tire :)

I would be interested to find out more, however, I can't find any link to any RP tires on that Website, I found Take Off, but no RPs

I ran RP30s indoor on carpet and liked the tires a lot. They seem to have better grip than CS27s and wear very well. One weird thing I noticed was a wavy line on the tire after a few runs- probably from the mold.

I have had so far liked the RP30's. Been testing them a little at 4fun hobbies and raceway. Sorex 36r's have deffinatly seemed better then the CS-27's in the past as they were a little too free. RP30's feel really close to sorex. I have run 9 run tires so far then backed it up with 1 run tires with not a too noticable amount of differance.

Click on the Schumacher link in my sig and use the product finder. On the right where it says manufacturer, use the drop down box and you'll see RP Tires as one manufacturer.

i had a over heating problem with them, they turned to crap about half way thru the race and got worse, however, the next weekend i opened up the pin hole they come with for a vent on the rims, to about 1/8", i also put three more holes in the rim and they were pretty darn good. no funny wearing, no over heating, and used them for three heats and a main in mod. (asphalt track with sealer and soda put down to aid traction) i am happy with them so far.

Sounds just like my track, what compound did you use?
