Smile TYRE TESTING RESULTS

G'day Granpa,

I'm interested in your tyre testing results. I have been running the Type A 60D's with just the black sponge insert on the front and Pits on the rear. This works well in Aus, however the Pits are now hard to buy. The only downside with this is the 60D's wear out quickly on the inside diameter of the tyre.

My mate has been experimenting with the same tyres and he reckons the Sorex C soft insert,(not shortened) with a black sponge stuffed in is great on the rear and he is running a blue HPI mini insert with with the black sponge stuffed into the front. I tried his car with these tyres last night and it felt planted.

I will add his car is the MO3R with TRF shocks.

Hope you can share some info.

Thanks

Calvin.
