The problem with foams as I see it is where does it end?

I would buy them, then i would buy additive to make them even grippier then you could buy softer compounds and on and on and on.

My reason for going racing is to control a car on a slippy surface and control the slides and test my skill at that against the other drivers.

Foams are for touring cars on flat tracks as you noted in your original comments.

I appreciate there is a cost to buying tyres but last Sunday on my 4WD I had to run used spikes left over from the outdoor series, so you don't HAVE to buy them.

In 2WD I tried spikes and minipins and was outqualified by Lee Fraser who was running spikes all day and he reckoned the more worn they were the better grip they gave.

In the end the club has made a decision, nobody has complained about running normal off road tyres for the previous three years at Chadderton so I don't see why it would be different now?
