What tires (and perhaps wheels) do you all recommend for med-high traction asphalt?
thanks!
That's an easy question to answer; there is only one allowed tire per the rules: "Tires- RIE24025 - set of 4 available through Gravity RC http://www.teamgravityrc.com/" They last quite a while on asphalt, and the grip stays pretty consistent until they wear out.
Rims are your choice of any non-dish wheel, 24mm wide. Some guys are using 26mm wheels, but they give the tread a different profile, since the tires are designed for 24mm.
I like the premounts on the GT wheels from Gravity RC:
