congrats to larry fairtrace for his spec touring car tq/win on solaris tires at the halloween classic this past weekend. saw a lot of sweep tires being run, but larry was setting the fastest laps all weekend with his solaris equipped top car. this was the first leg of the midwest grand slam, and larry proved that these tires are not only a viable option, but might just be the fastest one ...
nice work buddy.

Tires worked great for me. Ran some black rims in a couple rounds and some whites later.
Displaying all the Solaris varieties lol.

were the medium tires the tire of choice and are these the right ones? http://www.speedtechrc.com/store/ebp...d=856&id=11971
there are 3 different tires allowed at the classic. Solaris Medium, Jaco Blue, or sweep blues.

yeah, the rules of the midwest grand slam made that choice for us. there are 3 spec tires we can run, one of which is the solaris 'MGM' premounts: (P/N: S-TSMGM4W, S-TSMGM4B)
yeah dude. thanks for stopping out, and for putting to wood to everyone in spec. 
i might be hassling you for some odds/ends in the coming weeks. say, don't suppose you're running cleveland this year?

How much wear, in regards to size, do you guys see over the usable life of your Solaris tires? In other words... what diameter are you tires when you toss them in the "practice only" bin?
I measured a used set of Solaris that had been run for 3 partial race days @ ~61.5mm. Granted, it is sort of difficult to get a truly accurate diameter measurement due to the the pliability of the rubber and the air gap between the tire and insert. Is 2mm a normal amount of wear for a rubber tire?
This is on parking lot/rough asphalt surface...
