James Racing Tire Prep/Gluing Tips
1. Use non-chlorinated brake cleaner or Alcohol to clean bead of tire. 2. Dremel wheel bead. This gives it a good bonding surface. Clean after dremel with above cleaners mentioned above. 3. Use loctite professional glue. 4. Enjoy! What James Racing Tires are compared to in other brands: PL suppressor - Y-Zip PL lockdown - Revenger PL fugetive - Defenders PL blockade - Y-Zip or Revenger PL switchblade - Wasper Dot Evo works on wet or dusty tracks and every track condition. Wasper is like a Hole Shot/Buck Shot. I-Blocks are amazing on dusty blue grooves. X-Cross is like a Bow Tie. The rubber wears like iron and the SS compound is close to a M3 PL and if sauced with PB Blaster, feels like a M4. The 5 rib inserts are like Dirt Techs so they don't break down fast like PL foams do. "Compound Chart" Quote: Originally Posted by Evoking1230  So is there a chart for which compound to go with in what weather/conditions? I live in Texas and currently in the 70’s-80’s.

Use SS for low grip, Soft for high grip, and Medium for extreme/abrasive grip levels.

Tech Rookie
Do you drill the rim too? or just the rubber?

So my tires just arrived today, the carcass is significantly different between each design where the Defenders offer more support (and weigh about 5g more per tire) suggesting they might not have as much tendency to balloon under hard acceleration (if I had to guess). It will be interesting to see how each wear when compared to my trusty DOT EVO tires... all are SOFT compound... maybe when temps drop this winter I might try SUPER SOFT but we're still in the high 80's to low 90's out here in Texas.

Hello VPProUSA,
I would say that it would be better if You punch the holes before You mount it to the rims.
If You punch the hole like You did on the picture, the insert will most probably cut as well. The hole on the insert might prematurely break the insert.
Just my opinion..
Cheers..

Just a quick shout out for James Waspers (Soft) which was the tire to have this weekend at a big race in my area. I was the only guy in the 40+ division running these tires and I think they helped give me a slight advantage to get TQ and the Win in both double mains
