Sweep 1/8 scale tires ROCK!
Just started running these and going faster! I would highly suggest checking these tires out!
Micro contacts seem to be favorite so far.
Anyone else enjoying these as much as me?
For once in my life with tires I feel like am getting my money's worth...

I've been running Sweeps as well and very pleased with them. Have several new and used sets and not had an issue with wheels warping or needing to reglue.
Ran Silver BattleStars, Silver Exagons and Silver Square Armors. Local shop sells them for $45 a set. The Square Armors have Clooud 9's, the others were their regular foam. Both have worked excellent and wear has been good. Ran 3 qualifiers and a main on the Battlestars and still look new.
I can see the harder compounds coming in later in the year as it heats up. Right now we have been racing in sub 60* temps and sub 50 some days. We have a couple team drivers out here also that do very well with them and are very helpful with tire selection suggestions.

If you are adding all of that separately to your cart then they aren't pre mounts.. You will have to glue them yourself. Or have they changed it? I hadn't been on there in a while but I just looked and I guess if you choose the wheels and foams then they are pre glued?

I'm going to assume that you ran them at SJRC. Since the temps in the building are so cold, the silvers seem to be the ticket. I run blues when the track becomes more abrasive or I am looking to loosen up the car some. As long as there isn't much dust, Micros will work until there is almost nothing left. When it warms up make sure you have some square armors ready for Family Hobbies. Micros work well when it grooves up, but Square Armor has been the more consistent tire for me there. Either way it's nice to have some more local guys using them. I have lent out a few pairs to guys, and everyone has been very impressed by their performance and you can't beat the price. IMO the new V4 wheels are the best looking wheels out there. I only have a few runs on mine, but they still spin true as the day I mounted them.

From the 1/8 buggies tire page, if you click the individual tires and go to their pages you will have the option of selecting premounts or tires only.
