Default Schumacher pink mini spikes

Ive got some new schumacher pink mini spikes and just wondered if anybody else uses them and when. They feel silly soft to be honest.
Will they have their uses when racing or is just worth using them to setup the buggy outside. (the part number is u6565h if it helps)

Ah those were the days!

Might have a pink dot on the side walls but these are the long-time out of production, famed, BiBX compound that was, I believe especially developed by Schumacher for the World Championship event at the TEMAC track in Basildon, Essex in 1993!

They were designed to handle the hard-packed clay/dirt that is normally the playground of the US based tyre manufacturers.

U6565H is the rear tyre, U6566I is the 4WD front, I know as I have NIP examples in front of me!
Always useful to keep in your box if you ever get to a well worn grass/hard packed dirt track and providing you are allowed to use them as they are obviously no longer commercially available!

BIBX was marked orange.

You will have problems with glueing the tires on as they are so soft.
The last time I used them was at the euros in Montigny, I hat to full throttle over a jump to balance the car and all 4 tires went off the rims despite being perfectly glued.
