TRC Tires are made by GRP. The standard color chart remains the same for TRC/GRP and to my knowledge it has not changed.

For tires, I've also used Jaco and BSR which normally supply the oval racing crowd. Good thing, they have many steps in hardness and different base material. I tried a Jaco Pearl, and it wears better than the silverstar with about the same traction.

Correction, that was a BSR Pearl, no such JACO tire

If you're interested, just send me a PM, and I'll give you his Email adress.

Now for the TRC tires:
The last badges of tires that were sent out under the TRC brand that I have seen were actually GRP tires. The box even stated something like:
"made by GRP"

I am not completely sure that GRP hasn't updated the tires when they switched to their own brand. I heard some rumours that thy did, at least for the pink-magenta-purple family of tires.
However, I'm not sure this was true or not.
Thanks for the offer, although I did order from Stormer as I really would like a new body. It would be handy to have the detail of your friends shop for the future though.

Has anyone done much testing of different type of additive? I bought some orion stuff at the weekend to replace my empty TQ modified. The spray bottle the orion stuff came in was terrible, it goes everywhere . I poored it into the empty TQ tin lol.

Jack the Gripper is popular over here so I will try some soon and do comparision with the Orion.

I find it quite amuzing that people are puting sunscreen on their tyres . Why don't people find out what part of the suncreen is doing the work and just use that? It might work even better with the un needed elements taken out.

FWIW
All that is in Jack the Gripper is Kingsford Charcoal Lighter Fluid.
We have used Kingsford on the carpet track, where only Jack the Gripper is allowed. Well, that and the Kingsford is allowed. I don't see anyone here using sunscreen. Paragon is the most popular on AC. When I was running road car I always ran Zipgrip.
