Default Tires settings

The front moulded insert are not 60D thus it will be loose. Type S is 60D and Tamiya does not make any insert for 60D other than innersponge(blue) and hard innersponge(Black)

stock tires are actually 56mm so you have a 2mm gap(4mm diameter). this airpocket is as good as not having any insert at all

Ok, so basically my problem with my car might be the front inserts.
My Type As at the rear use 2 layers on sponge.
My front type S uses a molded insert and is rather loose.
I guess if I harden my front insert, I would decrease the grip at the front end creating less spin outs and so reduce my chance of overheating my type As?
Gee... If only my country as cool weather....
