One of the tracks I go to is outdoors and grainy asphalt. Even with track temps over 100°F and an abrasive surface, I can get more than 6 race days out of a set.

I know its not on the USVTA approved list any longer so it can't be run at official events, but its still allowed at our local track. McAllister Racing Riley Daytona Prototype. I've not run this body before.

No . That Far Far to simple of an Idea

It's got a bunch of rear downforce. I ended up running smaller and smaller wings until I finally just left it off completely!

It's a prepped parking lot. The track surface is hot as heck tho.

At $25 they're not in expensive. I'd prefer to pay $29 for premount Sorex.

Yesterday in a pinch I had to buy a set at the track.. they charged $29!

I totally agree with you Lot's of options in that price range. When I used the word "inexpensive" I tried to avoid using the word "cheap" Solaris spoked premounts for $30 used this season at the CTS Series this year in the touring classes last many more runs and are more consistent.

Maybe the USGT guru's could reevaluate based more on a cost per run rather than initial cost.

I dunno, results may vary but I know I'm getting dozens of runs out of single sets of my usgt spec tires. In fact my tires I bought last year are faster than new sets from this year that aren't broken in yet. My only issue is that the break in period takes a good 6-10 runs before they are 'grippy' tires on asphalt so the first day of practice with these are kind of a waste when you go to bigger 3 day races with handout tires. Just my $.03...

they last forever on carpet. Asphalt always destroys tires, cheap or expensive so it doesn't make for a good yardstick.

I've never seen sorex's that cheap, that sounded like a killer deal.

I'd heard that. Most of the guys at my track (6-7 racers) who have used this body added the hard plastic HPI wing. I'm going to try the stock wing for starters and then go from there. Thanks for the feedback.

We run on gray carpet and they do not last that long. I'm about 10 runs, mostly practice and they are ballooning in the centre.. that's why I picked up a new set last night.

I built a set using the Schumacher Black insert and primarily used it as a practice tyre. They too ballooned.. so imo the insert is not always at fault.

Here are Sorex premounts for $32

I know they are on a dish wheel and not legal.. but $32 vs $29 I paid last night and they last a lot longer.

The reason I also use it Sorex as an example is that prior to moving to LV, I used to run Charlie's GT10 class and we mostly used Sorex on spoke rims and it worked out well for everyone

I'd be open to the Solaris TCS spec tyre as USGT tyre.

they last a long time after they are ballooned. Just cause they deform, doesn't mean they are done. I also run on grey carpet, I have gotten 14 race DAYS out of a set.

Let's not fix what isn't broke.

I have won many races with ballooned Ride USGT tires.

Same here.
