I contacted Scott Jakes and he said this is normal, from the injection mold, and has been in every tire for two years. So clearly I am being too fussy about wanting better quality for my $35. I don’t remember these divots being that pronounced in any previous sets I have purchased. The set I returned to the hobby shop were much deeper than this set. Thoughts?

The set I showed you last week were 2.0s. So this has been going on a while.

SJT rubber tires.

Then this is the wrong thread. This here is the foam tire thread. Note the missing "RT" for Rubber Tire in the thread title.

This is funny. Everytime I get on their thread I get the riot act. They come on the foam thread and complain about their rubber tires. Simple solution go to FOAM tires- problem solved!

Sorry. I posted in the wrong thread.

What is the current best GT12 asphalt/tarmac body? Lots of downforce and steering I would imagine to be the ideal parameters. If not please educate me, I am a former racer returning after years wondering lost in the woods of other pursuits.
