Can someone help me fit these tires in order from hardest to softest?
For (Rear)(hardest at top going to softest)
Grey
White
Pink
green
The only one i cant place in order is magenta.
For (Front)(hardest at top going to softest)
Purple
Magenta
Dual Compound of Magenta and orange
The ones I cant place in order are grey, black, blue and green.
Thanks for the help
from what i've been told...? on certain 1/12 tire compounds CRC and Jaco 1/12 are the same rubber on different rims. Same for TRC and Parma tires.
the dot system used by some of the companies are the same colors, but thats where it can end. Pink compound is one example. i won't say which one i like better on asphalt, but they are different. Grey compounds seem to be slightly closer and the White compunds seem way off or not the same at all.
Trinity/TRC rates their 1/12 tires in durometer as such
-Natural Rubber
Rd 45+
Dbl Pu 42+
Pu 40+
Mag 35
Pk 30
Plat 25
they also list some other colors i've never seen on a 1/12 rim for sale. Lime 42 ,Tan 37 , Brown 32
-Exotic Foam
Bk 36+
Gy 29+
Wh 26+
-Standard foam
Or 54+
Bl 39+
Grn 29+
