A lot of the guys down there use the Schumacher staggered yellow front low and regular profile on cut front rims as well.

At RC plus I got 19 runs out of a set of Schumacher rears in 2W mod. I heard stock guys were getting many more. Mine currently still have a little tread but are starting to get a little loose.

I am so looking forward to getting a new carpet offroad track! Can't wait!

To add to this conversation schumacher rear yellow mini pins and schumacher cut staggered fronts could be the number 1 choice of tire. This also depends on setup and your style of driving.

13.5 and 17.5 guys will see less wear but mod will see a quicker tire wear.

GOLD BARCODES are another excellent rear tire but will be worn down by the end of the night. I have gotten 2 race days with practice before I deemed them as the first stage of ghost pins. (great way to break in gold barcodes)

I did a little research, Amainhobbies.com has the Pro4 shumacher mini pins yellow in stock SKU #SCHU6767 Hope that is helpful, Have a good one.

I most likely will buy mine from them too but I am just doing a bit of research on carpet tires first. Since the only carpet I've ran on was at northwest when they tried carpet.

I know that but I still need to research the tires I'm looking at before I buy a set of them.

Only problem I can see is parking on race nights. Unless the May awning building does stay empty for a long time. If not parking is gonna suck.

We'll just have to wait and see if Bruce is able to keep them in stock. Not to slight anyone. Amain is great about getting you what you need in a timely manner. Just sayin

over and out!
