It is all good, I am just stating my opinion as well. I think they are not super popular in the U.S. mostly because of price and availability. Be on the look out for the Gecko Tires soon as well............they seem to be made completely different and something new. Not trying to advertize or hijack this thread, I'm just say there are a bunch of new tires finding their way to the U.S.
C'ya at the races,

George your comment about GQ's not being racing tires is ridiculous. The rims are very stiff comparitvely to others and I have even seen you say they are heavy so I weighed some and they weigh exactly the same as Kyosho red box tires. They win a lot in Japan and other countries........unfortunately they are a bit pricey compared to some others and some people are turned off by the orange rims, but they are more than competitive. You need to try to promote the products you represent without bashing others.

I'm not 100% sure but i think the 40 shore kawahara is softer than a 40 shore GQ, not sure if it is due to the rim or if the foam is different or both.

i also race with the GQ's and found them to be alot better than other tyres at my high traction track, although i prefer the kawaharras on the lower bite tracks, i find the softer rim, helps.

I dont remember seening any capricorn tires in the main.... Your tires in the main I thought were Matrix or Twister either way they were white... If you want to do a comparison to glorify your tires please use a brand that is inferior not superior as is the case with Twisters.

you need glasses because my rims were black and i did compare the two tyres in the b main i used other tyres and in the a i used capricorn so before you assume get your facts right .The tyre wear was un comparable.Twice the wear on the competitors tyres as the capricorn tyres.
Wow.. I think your confused. Twice the tire wear. Dont compare something you have no idea about. If you want to promote Capricorn tires dont bad mouth other brands. You are the least experienced person in the series and should not being trashing other brands to promote your new found brand. When you talk think first...
