New Foam Tire (Gecko Tires)
Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a new tire in town, Gecko Tires. 
These tires out perform any tire I have tried. They hold up better (no chunking), they don't wear out as fast and they are cheaper to buy. These tires could bring back 10th scale foam tire racing to the club level because of this. Please check out the link below and you can see for yourself how they work.

Interedting!
It looks goob BUT!! I want to see some unbiassed reviews and possibly side by side tests before I decide to switch tires. There is alot of many spent in tires (at my track anyways) and if the 1/12 sizes are any cheaper it may be worth looking into

We have had Gecko foams in the UK for a while now, some people are haters, some like them...
From what i've heard they are a good price/good performance for what you're getting. As with any brand, if you're chunking foams you shouldn't be tapping the boards...

Buts its prob. best not to name them here, because if they are selling below Jacos requested low price, WE may not be able to get them for $10 a pr. any more.
GO do some searches but they are out there.

There is no secret to the Jaco low prices. Stormer Hobbies has been selling them for $9.99 a pair for quite some time.

For 1/10 scale foam tires he is talking about. 1/12 scale tires are not out yet.

Didn't realize it was for 1:10 tires. That's what I get for not reading the whole paragraph. Foam is a tough market to get into.

Hey Wes, are the tires still on the same size rim as the blue rims?
