Foam Tyres on Asphalt
Tsan,
That's what the 1/8th scale tyres were and still are generally developed for but to be honest I've only run on asphalt a long time ago using what was effectively a buggy with a saloon shell. This was in the days leading up to the modern touring car class where we used to set up buggys for on road racing. Nowadays there's obviously dedicated narrow track chassis for racing on road but they all still use foam tyres in the dry weather. Most dedicated on road cars still run foam tyres on tarmac.
There are also additives for use with foam tyres to increase grip on tar as well as carpet but I dont know much about what is available and legal for your form of racing as I've never used them. End result though is that your foam tyres will work on tarmac as well as carpet.
Hope this helps,
Jim
