tyres

[rcluke]

a mate of mine is looking for some tyres for his B4, he isnt racing with them, just outside bashing.

what are the best ones (cheapest) with a decent tread pattern for doing this with ?

also, am i right in thinking that GRP make 1/10 buggy tyres ?

grp do do tyres for buggies.harder tyres will last longer but will have a tendency to lose traction when turning at higher speeds especially on concrete or when its damp/wet.schumacher do a road pattern tyre but dont not sure about their use on birt/grass etc.hope ive helped a little bit.thanks jez.

cheers

For what it's worth I had some of the Schuey road tyres on my B4. They looked really sweet.

I took them off after less than 5 minutes which kinda gives away how impressed I was with 'em.

If your mate wants rubber that'll last and last and last try ebay for some Tamiya High Density Spike tyres, the ones they put on the DF-03, DB-01 and DT-02 chassis. They are crap for racing but seem perfectly OK for bashing (which is what Tamiya designed them for I guess). I've put B4 kit tyres on one of my Tamiya's so it should work the other way round too.
