tire peeling has become quite a problem in 1/12th scale racing lately. I find that it's not so much the rubber coming unglued from the wheel as the rubber ripping off the wheel. For some reason this peeling problem seems more pronounced since the switch to larger diameter wheels. Yellow rears seem the worst for peeling. But all the compounds share the same issue. Anybody who finds a reliable way to overcome this issue and shares the knowledge would surely become an instant hero to a great many racers. And any company who came to market with a tire that wouldn't peel and would still run the competitive lap times.......they would quickly earn the lion's share of the market. Everybody seems to be struggling with keeping the tires on the wheels these days.
