I think that was only in 4WD, 2wd I've seen many 2 stage inserts

I was running the JConcepts 'Medium' moulded inserts in the back of mine, with 'Firm' in the fronts. I tried a set of the standard foam's in 4wd to see how they compared but they only lasted 3 runs before the insert started to break down and the tyre lost grip despite there being plenty of tread left.

Moulded all the way

3204-1 'Firm' 2wd front
3202-1 'Firm' 4wd front
3206-2 'Medium' rear

Thanks Rich. Interesting. I always thought the standard inserts were what everyone used. Don't remember seeing them last year.

That's interesting and the severity of which is something I may have under estimated. My car was pretty good all day Saturday when I was constantly changing tyres to try out the different insert options. I settled on standard inserts after rd 5 of qualifying. Ran the same set of tyres for Rd5 and leg 1,2 + 3 of the finals - although the tyre wear was low, the car got more and more loose at the rear - I'll have to cut open the tyre and see what the insert is like.
