Sidcup being a short twisty layout I believe you can can away with the Spice or sweep tyres. As you probably know they are a smaller diameter than the Tamiya's and the difference to the top end on a long straight is quite noticable.

I have been experimenting the the new Tamiya 60d Type B slicks recently a they are very good on carpet. And the bit I like is the low wear rate.

Big thanks to Ben for doing all the testing at Sidcup, but yes Sweep 25's work very well there

I'm going to try the Solaris tyres too (H front and S rear) next time out to see how they go.
