Sorry for the novice question but here goes.
I find that putting sauce on my foam tires; at least in the beginning before the tires dry out from 3 laps or so; doesn't really help.
But I can't help wonder why you use sauce on foam tires anyway. Isn't the sauce suppose to wear down the rubber; in TC for example; thus exposing new rubber? If that is true then since the foam simply sucks the additive in like a sponge why do we add tire sauce to foam? The traction cpd isn't really glue after all.
I have either used sticky fingers or corally sxt.
Shouldn't I just use a softer compound tire? We run in a old curling rink (concrete floor) and thus I assume the track takes longer to heat up.

Alive and kicking! Not sure what's going on with my "inquires". Sometimes the junk filter is to blame, but I just checked in and I see nothing. I do know that you need to enter you correct email into the little form or simply nothing happens.
Either way, sorry for the frustration. I can be reached at blbodine (at) comcast (dot) net
Bad news on bumpers and radial bearings, they have been dropped from the line up. I am stocked up on caster gauges and thrust kits.
I will be attending 12th Worlds and IIC, so for the first 2 weeks in Oct I will be a ghost.

BSR is the new owner of Jaco. They have a readily available supply of Jaco 12th tires ready to go. The foam is the exact same as it was with Jaco. The wheel molds have all been fixed and no more loose front wheel bearings. This was the first thing BSR fixed when they bought Jaco.
