tyres
 

a mate of mine is looking for some tyres for his B4, he isnt racing with them, just outside bashing.

what are the best ones (cheapest) with a decent tread pattern for doing this with ?

also, am i right in thinking that GRP make 1/10 buggy tyres ?

grp do do tyres for buggies.harder tyres will last longer but will have a tendency to lose traction when turning at higher speeds especially on concrete or when its damp/wet.schumacher do a road pattern tyre but dont not sure about their use on birt/grass etc.hope ive helped a little bit.thanks jez.

any idea how much the grp's are mate, and have you got a price / link to the schuey road ones ?

cheers

fr 2wd £6.49 r £7.49.something like racing-cars.com,or pm muzzy[schumacher rep]or you could ask if anyone has any part worn tyres and rims to sell.can pick rims up £1 a pair,tyres similar.many racers disguard tyres after couple of runs.one mans rejects are another mans runners.thanks jez.

ok cheers mate

For what it's worth I had some of the Schuey road tyres on my B4. They looked really sweet.

I took them off after less than 5 minutes which kinda gives away how impressed I was with 'em.

If your mate wants rubber that'll last and last and last try ebay for some Tamiya High Density Spike tyres, the ones they put on the DF-03, DB-01 and DT-02 chassis. They are crap for racing but seem perfectly OK for bashing (which is what Tamiya designed them for I guess). I've put B4 kit tyres on one of my Tamiya's so it should work the other way round too.

like these ones ?

i have loads of part worn yellows that he can have for £1 per pair?

how worn are they ? pic maybe

they've had a few runs at regionals, but fine for bashing around roads and fields, or even for racing on high grip tracks like stotfold.
can't do a pick as my main PC died and i don;t have the camera software on my laptop

what tread pattern are they ?

minipin / spikes etc

also, how many pairs do you have ?

do you have fronts and rears, or ?

they are mini spike. not sure how many sets off the top of my head, probably around 6-7 available, but more once i have sorted out my recent tyres from the F2's etc.

they are mainly 4wd front and rear, as 2wd front don't wear a great deal. If your mate is bashing then he will mainly need rears for the wheel spin!

he said he is interested.

when will you know how many pairs of rears you have?

i'll let you know tomorrow as i need to sort out a load of car stuff in the garage to make some space!

cheers mate

did you count your tyres mate ?

Yup, thems 'um. The used Schueys are probably a better bet at that price though - just remember he'll need inserts on either sort of tyre.
