Hey Tony! I've been perusing the rc-mini site for some time now, and noticed that you guys don't seem to like Tamiya tires. Does anyone in your crew run them, or are you all fortunate enough to have easy access to the south Asian market and all of it's goodies?

If so, what do you run if you're racing on carpet? We don't see much of anything besides Tamiya tires here, and people seem to have success with them. Are any of the tires you guys have reviewed on the site suitable for indoor carpet use?

Anyone else want to pipe in on this one? I'm looking for a new tire combination, and besides maintaining the great traction I've got now, I'd like to reduce the amount of rolling my car does. It's not much, but even once per race is a little annoying. I'm running 60d slicks on the front, and S Grips on the rear. Hard inserts all around.

Jim
