early reports from tests at our club on high grip grass came out good. will be testing more my own shortly

There are pins too I think. I've got a set on order to try on polished floor :thumbsup:.

One of the guys at our club ran the spikes on 2wd last week and said they were good...after 4, 5min qualis the rears were totally smooth! 50% carpet/polished

Where can i get some from?

MRD 19-08-2010 08:13 PM

Theyre CML so most shops can get them in :).

phil c 19-08-2010 08:20 PM

totally smooth as in knackered/worn out/need replacing?

spenner 19-08-2010 08:28 PM

I have used the Turf Rippers at Silverstone's new track for 3 meetings.... and the spike is prob as big as the Schumachers when new... not the missing ones!!! And they are awesome round there Dry or wet!!!:thumbsup:

I just got a set from Ross mods going to give them a go this weekend.

paulc 20-08-2010 06:27 PM

Is he going to be at keithley regional this weekend ? If he is i'll have a set for my 4wd

telboy 20-08-2010 07:25 PM

It'd be nice to see another tyre brought into the nats/regional choice range. CML ought to get them sent off to the BRCA for homlogation!

we don't Homologate tyres.

MRD 22-08-2010 06:21 PM

Ive run these today on my X6 at our Keighley track and they are spot on! Very good ware rate and fantastic grip even when the track got loose. Bought a set for my 4WD to try too but didn't get chance to give them a good run.

I'm trying them on polished floor on Friday so if they work the I think we're onto a winner :thumbsup:.

its down to the individual clubs to nominate tires for an event. I doubt there will be anything this year now that will have them as a nominated tire. but i can see them havin more of a role next year.
