James Racing Tire Prep/Gluing Tips
1. Use non-chlorinated brake cleaner or Alcohol to clean bead of tire. 2. Dremel wheel bead. This gives it a good bonding surface. Clean after dremel with above cleaners mentioned above. 3. Use loctite professional glue. 4. Enjoy! What James Racing Tires are compared to in other brands: PL suppressor - Y-Zip PL lockdown - Revenger PL fugetive - Defenders PL blockade - Y-Zip or Revenger PL switchblade - Wasper Dot Evo works on wet or dusty tracks and every track condition. Wasper is like a Hole Shot/Buck Shot. I-Blocks are amazing on dusty blue grooves. X-Cross is like a Bow Tie. The rubber wears like iron and the SS compound is close to a M3 PL and if sauced with PB Blaster, feels like a M4. The 5 rib inserts are like Dirt Techs so they don't break down fast like PL foams do. "Compound Chart" Quote: Originally Posted by Evoking1230  So is there a chart for which compound to go with in what weather/conditions? I live in Texas and currently in the 70’s-80’s.

Use SS for low grip, Soft for high grip, and Medium for extreme/abrasive grip levels.

I found this chart on the James Racing Europe website, translated by Google:
James Racing Tire Chart
The chart is missing: Defender, Revenge, Square Cracker, Super Cross (in second chart)
For reference, a link to Facebook with this chart was posted by someone earlier in this thread:
Maybe someone with extensive experience with these tires could update the chart and sticky?

After some time not using the Y-Zip tire, I went back to it this past weekend. Supersoft Y-Zip on a hard-packed, cool, and slightly damp track was just outstanding.

Super Soft (M4) - same as before, compare to JConcepts Green
Soft (M3) - now harder then before, a noticeable difference from SS. Feels like a SLW
Medium (m2) - firm compound, same as before
The new soft is now right in between Super soft and medium.
So use SS for low grip, soft for medium grip, and medium for high grip/abrasive tracks.
