We *could* let any advice run wild on here, or we could consider the new racer who is reading comments on here, and getting bad advice on how to do something. You may also read over the many many pages of information here, and realize GP is one of the main contributors and one very smrt man with it comes to Mini.

Just because something worked once for you, doesn't mean its good advice for everyone to follow. No tire will last more than a few laps, with only glue on the outside, even with a silvercan motor. I am sure a hard kit tire may work for a little longer, but any soft racing tire will come of the wheel due to the centrifugal forces and lateral forces in the corner, and it needs to be glued both sides.
