Tyres for stadium trucks
 
Hi all,
Down at torch we are looking to run stadium trucks in the winter months. The track is all astro and when wet on buggys the ballistic greens work well. But what are available for stadium trucks in the wet?
Dry we are trying schumacher yellow mini spikes rear and ribbed front.
Any suggestions would be great.

Silver spikes but I'm not sure on what tyres are available for stadium truck as it isn't massively popular

Hey Cammers, has anyone thought of having a look to see what the yanks have to offer in the way of Proline or J Concepts?

At southport outdoors on Astro we were runing Losi Step-Pin rears in red compound. Loads fo grip for wet/damp astro. The only place they suffer is the end of the straight. Because american tyres tend to be very soft the tyres balloon at very high speed, so by the end of the straight the contact patch is quite small. However by far the best tyre we found for wet astro.

I have an almost untouched set glued up on T4 rims that I was going to stick on ebay, along with some other truck stuff, including a T4FT roller, as our stadium trucks died off in popularity this year. :p

When I was last at the Belgium GP it rained for the last A final, I tried JConcepts Green Goosebumps all round which worked really well - I was pulling wheelies in the wet :lol:
