So much for conspiracy theories, I guess. I hope this reversal does not cause as much controversey as the previous ruling. As I said before, nobody wants to see the race's reputation damaged in any way by conflict.

Why would you want to run them? They don't perform on the track as well as they look on the TM-35....
Only company I know matching them is pole position....

CRC just did. Check out there website!! Man-I should sell pre-trued Parma foam tires. But what would I do with all that foam dust and a burnt out Hudy truer

Hey Andrew,
What kind of performance gain in terms of lap times are you seeing with the stage two compared to the originals?

Jack,
What size do you reccommend starting the 12th scale 2 stage tires at? Let me know.
Thanks,
Robert

Martin - The 2stage tires make your car easier to drive, more stable, and you gain a bit of corner speed. Every time I have run them back to back compared to regular tires my fastest lap is .1-.2 tenths faster and on average they are a tenth per lap faster.
On another note, at the Halloween Classic this past weekend, all of the touring a-mains, stock, 19t, and mod were won using 2 stage tires. Mark Adams won 1/12th mod with them as well.

with the 2 stage 1/12 tyres, what's the minimum size you can run the tyres to? i.e. when do you have to throw the tires/wheels to the bin?

I ran my tires down to about 2.18 this past weekend but there was not much left of the outter band. But boy were they fast. I started them at around 2.24 and practiced a few times and raced them a few times. Used 4 sets of tires for all my practice and races and mains for stock and 19 turn sedan. And 2 sets can still be used for racing for a while!!
Thanks Jaco for an awesome tire!!

i don't know how thick each layer is, but i would guess the inside layer's outside diameter is larger than 41.5mm? So does that mean i can run it pass the outer layer ? or am i wrong?
Thanks
