Schumacher mini spikes also work the advantages are the scrub in much faster but the setup of the car needs to be better in my opinion the mini spikes don't like to be thrown around like the full spikes.
Both of these in yellow
Having said that blue mini spikes work well as well they take long to scrub in than yellow mini spikes but less time than yellow full spikes the blues don't generate the grip like the yellows mini spikes but on a tight twisty track the car rotates better as long as the car holds corner speed.
At out club soft schumacher blocks seem ok as well I've not tried them but some reasonable results are being seen.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply
. The tyre choices are pretty much the same as my club, I agree that the full spikes are easy to drive with and very forgiving. A lot of people at my club will put on full spikes for the first couple of heats if the floor is really dusty (from previous nights of dancing or whatever goes on!) and then put on mini spikes later on as the dust clears away.
I was also thinking about trying the schumacher/core-rc multi bows or multi blocks as they look quite similar to the mini spikes, but I'm not sure because they could be more for dirt tracks. They're still an option though.
