GRP compounds???????
 

forgive me if this has been answered, couldn't find anything in a search.
I don't want the stir up again what happened at kiddy, but i saw some posts saying why the GRP tyres were not an option and this was due to it not being a control tyre. Which got me thinking about the GRP tyres i thought there were 3 compounds A=soft B=medium C=hard . Looked on the Mirage site and the only ones they do are the C (hard) is this right ?And will they bring out the 2 other compounds or have they already been out and didn't work on our tracks and that's why Mirage don't seem to have them?

a and b compounds are still to come - they are supposed to be released soon I believe.

:thumbsup: cheers jim

Indeed they are ;) Very good they are too.... :thumbsup:

yeah we have a+b compounds in the rallyx so im pretty sure you guys will have them soon...then wonder what the excuses will be? :)

There won't be any excuses. Its down to you guys to use them at anything but nationals, I am (only the C compound for now). If nobody uses them, then they won't be selected by the host club for the nationals.

I used them yesterday, 5 runs and they didn't fade on the Dirk Diggler, far more consistent than Yellows, but a slightly softer compound might be needed

Used them yesterday at jarrow in praccy and 3 rounds then changed to BB greens, liked them alot more i have to say, the BB's just didnt seem right (ye, i think we all know why :o) very impressed, loads of life left on them as well.

Do the c compound also work in the wet?

cheers.

Yes, they probably werent as grippy as TR32's or the longer spikes but found them very nice to drive on, much for progressive and predictable than the BB's.

Adam used both compounds as the weather turned better, both worked well but we decided to run the B compound in the A final which seemed to be good choice.

So are they out now or for a select few:eh?:

Commercially Available??? :lol:

That's the word i was looking for Lee:lol::lol::woot:

Who sells these GRP tyres in the North East??

Kash, any LHS that deals with Mirage i would imagine

Jez and Sunday Best had some last year

Cheers Guys
I'll see Sunday Best at the next Regional

Tyres in general, how does everyone remove the old rubber of the wheels????:)

Acetone (well, cheap nail polish remover) :thumbsup: i tend to use the tires till there unusable so i can cut the main part of the tire away and remove the foam so it doesnt absorb it all.
