What wet weather tyres ?????

[stegger]

Because i have been really lucky i have never had to race in the wet!!!
But i think this weekend my luck is going to run out So in 2WD and 4WD what tyres do i use ? and inserts ?
Total grass track (woodvale rally)
Astroturf (southport)
For BRCA and non BRCA races, cheers

Wet weather are either...

Schumacher Mini Spike green compound.

OR..

Ballisitic Buggy Spike Green Compound.

A

For the all grass track I'd be very tempted with blues if very wet to bite into the dirt underneath. In moist/drying condition the green is likely to be better though.

As you also mention non BRCA races, then I assumes you're free to run ANY tyre. If this is the case then you could consider Yokomo TR32's if you have them.

TR32's are rare as rocking horse poo now...

At Southport ballistic greens are the favoured wet weather tyre.

At Woodvale we often get quite a lose and rough patch of grass and Schumacher full-spikes have sometimes worked in the past.... but it's only a "fun" meeting so no real point in buying special tyres. Just take some BB greens, then if you don't use them they are good stock in your pitbox for southport.

In that case I've got a box full of rocking horse poo in my garage. anyone wanna buy it??

I know what you're saying about not buying something just for one meeting and would agree, unless of course you're racing to win and the best tyre is a TR32.

TR32's are the bomb (if you can find them).
BBG's are a good alternative, but no where near as good as the TR32's.
Full spikes dont grip on any wet wood/board etc for jumps/ramps, where as TR32's do.

As phil says, get some TR32's if they are legal, and available!
