Jack Rimer of Jaco Tires
EVERYONE uses the Japanese rubber. We all buy from the same place so beware of anyone claiming one brand is far superior to any other. Most differences are in the wheel, durometer reading, age of the rubber, or batch.
I have heard this over and over and it is completely false. No one uses American or European rubber for gas anymore. We have been using Japanese rubber for 17 years for nitro. I have no clue where this information comes from, but it is based on speculation, not fact.

I heard differentlly, that actually some of these guys have there own FACTORY"S that make there own foam, and for one reason or another i totally notice a difference with certain brands, just my .02
jacos are the cheapest< price that is>and have always been, foam does not come from the same factory. this is how it goes. kawahara has their own factory and they make kyosho/red box tires. ats has their own factory and they make twister tires. jaco makes bsr tires. grp has their own factory and they make devil tires and msr tires. GQ, matrix and enneti have their own factory. anyone can buy from these companys and stamp their name on it but they certainly do not come from the same place
i will NOT repeat where i heard this, just would like others to be informed is all.....dont even ASk who told me, im italian, you have a better chance of seeing ELVIS!!!

I disagree...
Just because they "make/mount" the tires at their factory does not mean that the rubber sheets dont all come from basically same place. Rim difference is likely the handling difference.
Jack does alot of rubber stuff outside the rc side (rc is not his primary buisness) he has a very good understanding.
Get what is sold locally and what most other people use at a given track.

It sounds like your source IS Elvis because someone doesn't know what they are talking about.
