Think most run yellow schumacher mini pins but scumacher yellow mini spikes also work very well too.

If you get Schumacher "yellow" minipins they are great for indoors (maybe a bit twitchy for a newbe depending on motor, but they are the fastest).

If you get Schumacher "yellow" minispikes they will work both indoor and out (in dry to mildly damp conditions)

I would go for the Schumacher "yellow" mini SPIKES because there are only a couple of indoor meetings before we go outdoors....... The mini spikes will be ok outside but mini pins won't ...!

haha, I'm only winding you, I'm still reletively new myself. Take the above advice m8. Get some schumacher yellow compound mini spikes.

You will need 4wd fronts, and rears will just be labelled rear.

You also want the schumacher blue medium inserts. MB models is a good place to buy them from.

If your current wheels have tyres glued on you'll also need the correct wheels for the new tyres. I think your car has 14mm hex fitment, but best to check first

You can use any tires you like, but it I doubt it will be an enjoyeable first experience. On my lads car it was like driving on ice. He had no chance. I'd lend you some but my wheel fitment is different to yours.

If its just because you cant get hold of them in time, I think there will be a shop on the day you could buy them from, or you can buy a set of tires off me that I havn't mounted yet. It's not a cheap hobby though, Works out about 25-30 quid for a set of wheels, tires and inserts....

If you can get some acetone by tomorrow to get tyres off the rims you can stick some of my old ones on. What is your wheel fitment?

Use what you have failing that, it will let you see what the racing is like, you'll still enjoy it and be able to practice your drifting skills
