Default Re: rubber tire questions

Ok all you west coast rubber tire guys help me out with this.

With track temps around 100-125 what tire/insert combo would you start with. The track is med/high bite treated with sugar water.

I normally run on carpet with foams and rubber tire are still kinda of a mystery.

In Connecticut we dont get the super high track temps.

I have tried 32r and 36r with hpi blue med/hard insert and car seems to push badly.

I tried 28r with hpi blues and tires seem to overheat and wear quickly but car has improved steering.

Can I get more steering by running a softer insert med or med soft in 32 and 36r's.

Thanks for the info

Jamie
Pretty much pre-mounted CS-27’s work well in that situation. If it gets too hot try 32’s

Kevin:

Again thank for the info Ill have to give it a shot.
