Xceed 1/8 tires -reg. vs. lite weight
Looking for a little feedback here. I'm getting ready to order tires for this summer and have decided on Xceed brand. Can all of you who have experience with them tell me what tell me what you think of the regular weight compared to the lite weight versons.
Thanks,

To add to Gordos comment, with the light weights u save on a lot of suspension parts when u do impact the boards at times (or at least I do). they'll break but they also take a lot of energy away from the rest of the car so usually the only thing that does break is the wheel not the car

Reg Tires are good but they handle much differently. I run xceed lightweights and i prefer them over regs. anyday!! they have more grip and more steering and make the car react faster. They are a little bit less resilient than the Reg but if you are going to buy serious foam tires you shouldnt be bouncing off walls anyway anyways i would go with Lightweights if you know you are not going to be bouncing off walls but if so go with regulars.

The lightweight rims are to fragile, if you are not close (within 0.5 sec a lap) to the toplevel drivers you should stick with the normal rims

The xceed foams are sooo fragile..
accidently clipped a wall, and broke the spokes...
installed a new pair.. going good, then tried to overtake another guy on the track, and broke the spoke again..
Im going to try matrix foams next.. anyone have any feedback on them?

I run the xceed lights for qualifying at the bigger races. I believe they are 20grams lighter. I wouldnt run them in a main tho.
