You want Jap 44-48's on the front,and V54S or V53's on the rear(pink mediums).True the fronts to around 46-47mm,and the rears to 50mm.

Good advice start with 44's up front and just use pink med on the rear dont true them down just round the edges. As that will give you the best tyre life.

If you use additive, fully coat rear tyre except approx 2-3mm on the outside edge. On the front you need to try different amounts with the different tyres (try starting with the Jap 48's if using additive), but start with the inside half of each tyre. Apply the additive approx 30 minutes before your race, and wipe it off approx 5 minutes before your race will start, this gets rid of excess, it will still have soaked into the tyre and done it's work.

guna order me sen some japs later got the ufra pink mediums already.

thing with don valley with the carpet been a permanent fixture we cant use additives i dont think.

been thinking can you get rubber tyres for these things?or is there tyres that will fit the wheels?

with 44's up front and pinks at the rear you shouldnt need additive.

Some of the faster guys use pink all round but that will induce end swapping if you try t hat day one.

ive got ufra pink mediums all round and dont get any steering with them on from but back end seems ok.

guna try the japs on front and hope they will be ok.
