Scheumacher Yellows can be either the original type or the newer version 2's. Either pretty much give the same performance... I am lead to beleive that the difference between the two is a change to the material which makes them last longer.
Tyres you should try and stock up with then:
Rear Schu Yellows (Essential for 90% or so of racing... I would normally try and stock 2 or 3 sets of these as they can wear down quite quickly)
Front Schu Yellows (normally have about 3 sets of fronts, with different amounts of spikes cut to suit different track conditions - can sometimes feel costly getting these all at once but they tend to wear down slower than the rear so you should get many meetings out of them!)
Rear Schu Greens (I personally have a set of rear greens but I very rarely use them... but I know some people like to use it in slightly damp conditions or as an 'in-between' tyre after running ballistic buggy greens and before going straight onto Schu Yellows)
Rear Ballistic Buggy Greens (Essential for wet or damp conditions)
Front Ballistic Buggy Greens (Used mainly in wet conditions... if the track is just damp most would run BB Green rears but Schu Yellow fronts with full spikes)
Some use some old TR32 tyres (huge spikes) which work exellently in really wet conditions... however, these are not longer in production and are NOT brca legal - use for club use only!
Thats about all that most run, hope this helps!
Ta, Jon!
