The fastest tires on the market, are no longer on the market. But you CAN still get them.
Take-off 27s or Yokomo 138s, or 139s. On my tracks around here, they are worth .3 or .5 + per lap (18 second laps) over a fresh set of sorexs, and are many times longer lasting. With a modern production TC rubber tire, you cannot race head to head against a comperable driver running these tires. You wont be able to keep up.

But no.. no commission. Just lucky enough to be sponsored by Brett Sisly (team schumacher), the guy that runs the company. Around here, you compete with Brett's tires, or you don't compete 
(well you know.. you can still do totally well on other tires, but these provide quite an edge)The cool thing about the 27s and the 138/139s, is that we run them in the cooler mornings, and hotter afternoons, and they hook up perfect in both conditions... after run #5 or 6, they look like a 2 run sorex. (i.e... the physical wear on the tire seems to take 3x longer to happen then anything being made today)

The current BRCA national tyre is the most popular, partly because it's a few £ cheaper than most others and partly because with it's current yellow insert it's quicker than the same tyres and wheels with the previous grey inserts they used to use.
No longer have any CS22's or 27's as they were just too old so got thrown out.

I don't think it's just the tyres, but also the inserts that matter a lot.

rubber degradation
Skiddins commented that he had some cs27's but they were too old and he threw them out..
Could it be a risk buying the cs27's that are available? based on their shelf life age.
I presume they were manufactured a long time ago.?
How fast do rubber tires degrade in storage?

I have a set of cs-27's that I bought for a nationals race in '00 or '01. I think that was also the first time I met Brett. I put them on for fun (practice) a few weeks ago and they ran pretty well. It was pretty cool. I'll give them a qualifier at the next Fantasy world.

Are these any good on carpet? I find it hard to believe that tires haven't improved in 10 years.
