Hi everyone,
I'm working on getting a 4WD touring car running as a training car in between offroad events. I intend to run it on the nice spare pieces of tarmac that are 'here and there' in the city.
Looking back on my history with touring cars, they seemed to have handling trouble. Back then I didn't know what the problem was, but now I think I do...
BAD TIRES! I was always using the cheap-o RTR/XB/Kit tires from Tamiya, and it seems they just can't handle putting 4000kV-ish power on the ground. However, I know nothing about the brands available for touring cars, I hope you can help out here.
So, what I'm looking for is a tire that has more grip. However, it also needs to be a type of tire that doesn't cost me a fortune in the long run (as there are no actual racing results on the line here). In other words, I need a good concession between grip, durability and price. So, what are you people recommend using?
