Default Useful M Chassis tires

After leaving some Harris RC Team Powers tires lying around for many months as I was too slack to adjust the shock height of the rear of the car, I tried these on the back of the M03 and these locked the rear end down amazingly well, even on the cold morning asphalt track we race. Having cured a long standing rear end traction issue for me, I am keen for another set for the new M05.

Harris RC no longer list the Team Powers Mini tire and Google could not help - would the "Sorex" be a re badge of the same tire or would it be better to give the Spice or RP a go instead?

Kind regards
Dave

No one else makes 60mm diameter tyres for mini other Tamiya. Although I think the new HPI tyre for the Cup Racer might be close. You would have to visit the HPI website.

Other 55mm diameter tyres for mini: Pit Shimizu: Ride: RP: Spice: Kamikase: Sweep: Solaris: HPI: ABC Genetic: Cross:

We use these in combinations for mini racing here in Australia.
