Green or Yellow
 
Hi all

Got a job lot of schumacher mini spikes off the bay and was wondering is there a knack to knowing which tyres are green or yellow? I can't seem to tell and no paint splodges on them either?


Cheers

The yellows should feel much softer than the greens.

excellento, cheers dears, will start fondling me tyres then :thumbsup:

Greens are softer and feel like rubber compared to the yellow compound which is a much quicker to rebound back into shape if you deform the tyre. The yellow also feels more like plastic than rubber - hope that makes sense...

Not sure which way it is, but I think Yellows have a much stronger smell to them to....

Yeah, the yellow compound is a lot softer than the green compound.
