GRP Foam Tires
 
I'm getting back into Nitro racing this summer and I want to starting stocking up on tires before the rush. Are GRP foam tires any good and shore rating should I think about getting to start? Asphalt track spayed with grape soda

As far as I know the factory burned down a couple of years ago and they dont make them anymore, those may have been sitting in the shelves for a while.

That is what they did tell about their engines as wel and a few months after the burn down the first other brand engines based on the same design stsrted to hit the market....

I an running GRP tires for 2 year by now and must say they are good but I havn't tried others. I do run 32 and 35 and sometimes 37.

Are you using 32 and 35 in the rear and 37 in the front?

Mostly the same shore all arround and sometimes one degree shore softer in the front (most people do run 32 in front and 35 in rear). The 32 all arround does give more steer than 35 or 37 all arround.

I remember running a different shore front and rear, I'll make my first order 32's and 35's.

Thanks, I placed my order. I ordered 35 front and 37 rear that's what my set-up sheet had.
