I just spoke to Ray Darroch and he said he ran JACO pink fronts and magenta rears in 13.5 to TQ. He thinks most guys ran a combination of pink and/or magenta. I will find out what Joe ran in 17.5 and...

Why, because they make a valid point? We don't sponsor many drivers for rubber tire. Perhaps 2 or 3 at most. I have no idea who posted those replies. Why can't anyone cut us some slack? I get on here...

I think we are talking about two different problems here. One is "chunking' and the other is "peeling". Chunking is certainly an issue with all foam tires to some extent. Whites and yellows to much...

Just a few things here about the JACO's. The blue is listed as a 32, but the rubber is actually a thin walled 40. We use a firmer rubber with a thinner carcass to get the grip of a 32. This is why...

The new inserts are a little wider so they don't allow the tire to move around as much. This should cut back on the friction between the tire and the ribs on the wheel. We will be shipping these this...
