that was one of my biggest gripes about 10th offroad..the cost of tyres.
now i race 1/8th offroad and the tyres are around £22-£24 a set of 4 glued on wheels with foams..yet they last about 4-5 meetings,if they can make 1/8th tyres for that price theres no reason they cant for 1/10th..its simply the fact schumacher has no real competetion in the offroad market,as others have said,if joe blogs brought out a tire costing a fiver and everyone used them then schumacher would have to toe the price line or go out of business as i think that most of their profit comes from tyres.
