Cool...I also heard you can get the unobtanium rear foam tires the Yokomo drivers had on these.

At the rate we use up tires I would rather save 3-5 bucks a pair and stick with Jacos or CRCs.

I was talking rims but of course BSR and Parma too. I actually run BSR stuff unless I have to run something else.

You can buy the Ulti tires in 3-packs which makes the fronts $12/pair and rears $13/pair. Pricing is different for some of the foam compounds, but that pricing isn't too far off of CRC, Jaco, or Parma. (Parma Black/Orange from AMain, the only place that I can find them in stock right now, is even more expensive). All depends on what you are willing to pay, though.

Hey Dave,

I have the same results I really like these tires got to run them a few weeks Back.Rob at KO was very helpful with the tire info. There very consistent and the offset are close to the jaco's

The wheels are awesome, and have a decent amount of off-set to fit the R5 at under 172mm

I have found these foams to be very consistent, much more so than CRC or Jaco
And far better quality wheels

13.5 SS

IIC
X-MF; 1/3 sauce
X-MR: full

TQRC
X-HF 7/8 JTG 20m
X-SR Full 20m

For a bit more front bite
J-HF 7/8 JTG 20m
X-SR Full 20m

Adjusting for a green track, only 1/4 inside front, for 5m

I've been running he Enetti wheels/tires lately to save a bit on costs...at under $8 a pair it saves quite a bit. On our asphalt track running 2 sets of tires in 4 rounds of running per race day...I go through both sets in 3 to 4 race days. So I am spending about $40 every 2 months for Jaco tires or $31 every 2 months for Enetti tires. Granted it isn't much when I look at it like this...but it sure feels like I'm going through tires fast.

I like the price of the Ennetis, but the glue job is what ruins it for me. I burned through them a lot faster than Jacos, CRCs or Parmas simply because the foam would just fall off once the tires got small. Annoying, especially since 12ths feel so awesome on small tires.

Clegg 12-19-2012 09:41 AM

I really like the Enetti rims, super light and they are just flexible enough not to shatter like fine china like I've found the CRCs to do if you have a strong hit to the front and the wheel contacts the steering arm.

I've found the foam to be OK in the firmer ranges, but their softer Pink/Magenta compounds leave a bit to be desired on our carpet at least. I've also found their wheels to be inconsistent when it comes to quality of the glue job, roundness of the rim, and overall foam placement. The enetti foam in the natural rubber range seems to be 2 shore softer than the CRC/Jaco ranges.

Getting ready to update my CRC GenXL for outdoor asphalt. What would be the best version? I was thinking the Altered Ego?
