Tyres for Kidderminster

[Rob]

I'm hopefully going to be doing my first national at Kidderminster in a few weeks (I'm quite high on the reserve list). Wanting to sort out my tyres.

I'd guess it will be Schumacher Yellows in the dry, but what will be best in damp conditions and fully wet?

bb pinks or greens

Greens in the dry..? Greens are used in the wet on most UK multisurface tracks, i can't see them working well in the dry green mini PINS worked well; however.. these are not allowed for this years nat.

I'll personally be using schumy yellows in the dry, and in a good rainfall ballistic green spikes.. i want to stay away from pinks if i can due to the wear rate.. but pink is also an option.

Me and kevin did some testing at the first round of the winter series at kiddy and yellow's where all over the place. It was uncontrolable. So we went to greens and they where alot better. Yellows are bad around kiddy.

That's in the winter though, the national will be in May, and with this months weather already being pretty hot, in the dry with a nice bit of sun, greens wont be on pace imo, yellows will be the ticket from whats been going around.

Although, it's your own preference.

to reprove yellows will be the ticket in the dry..

Most, if not all cars have yellow schumys on in the last series.

Ashley,
You and Kev knock yourself out on your BB greens, but if it's dry then the only tyre choice is Yellow mini's. You only use BB green SPIKES if it's raining.
