Tyres

Hi all just a newbie question really for 1/10th off road
How many meetings can you get out of a set of tyres indoor and outdoor,i no it all depends on conditions of ground/grip/how many heats/finals,but as a rule of thumb a weekends racing??or 2 sets a meeting??
plus does anyone use addative on tyres?
cheers

1 set should easily last 1 or 2 normal meetings (practice,4heats,1final) for indoor & outdoors.
When running in the wet outside with wet weather tyres they usualy last alot longer. Never known people to use tyre additives they arn't needed.

Schumacher greens for wet and Schumacher yellows for dry is a good rule of thumb... Not sure about indoors as I only drive the B4 where it belongs... OUTSIDE!!! lol...

10th off road can be spikes outside and pins inside, best if you are thinking of using a club track is to ask or visit and see what is common.

Outside racing= Ballistic greens (Wet) , Schumacher yellows (dry)

Inside racing = Schumacher mini pins yellows

This is what i ran all through 2009

best option for outdoors is schumacher greens or maybe even ballistic greens if needed and in the dry its mostly yellow schumachers and for indoors its just yellow schumacher pins
