Default 2nd June - LDA tyres

Woody - so what’s the plan at LDA for tyres as the NW is open class for tyres. Are we going to spec tyres here? I don’t want to go out and buy tyres what may or may not work at a large cost?

Tony

Hi Tony,

Sorry, I know you aimed this at Woody, but I don't think you need to spec a tyre. Hotshots work reasonably well, however most people use silver mini spikes.

Why don't you come this Friday and get a feel for it? This Friday will be in the main arena where I expect Mark will put the regional track. We normally use the smaller side one so this will be a good chance to get a flavor of things to come.

Be good to see you and anyone else there.

Thanks.

There is no tyre rule.

Silver Spikes, are the key.

Apparently silvers clog up and that's not what Mark runs.

This is a very different surface to what we run normally and if the track was grass, astro or carpet any tyres will work and I would not give a flying sh1t, but it's not.

If I turn up and people are running tyres that are not normal for the uk then what happens then? I just want clarification of what tyres work and what does not.

Surely it's in the clubs interest for this type of track to spec tyres.....

Tony

Ballistic buggy greens are the tyres to use used on my 4wd and worked a treat.

Did some testing a while ago with Mark at LDA and Cut Spikes (available in medium and soft compounds) worked really well.

The Cut Spike tires are available from JC Racing Products.
