Default Stoke

Hi

Getting ready for a crack at the regional series, could anybody tell me what tyres (front and rear) work at Stoke ?

Thanks

Last year 4WD i used Schumacher yellow minispikes, but then it rained and i went on to Ballistic buggy greens.

both worked well.

Are we at the nitro club again this year, or are we returning to the school??

Nitro Club. They have done some good work on the track to make it more suitable for buggies, so should be a great season opener. Yellow mini spikes if dry, Ballistics if not as said earlier.

Hello!

If it were to be a wet day, what do the ballistic's have that the schumacher's don't have for grip levels? are they are softer compound?

cheers

Not too sure, but Green Ballistics work well, when its damp. Probably due to the compound I guess. They are also a slighlty longer spike, than the schumachers, and Schumacher yellows dont work in the wet anyway...

Schumacher Greens maybe worth a shot, but I would stick with the Ballistics IMO.

i always thought it was more to do with the profile of the tyre, being flat for more serfice area, and not ballooning as much under power. but this results in less side bite as the tyre doesnt roll with the car so just slides.

For 2wd then, what do people do about front tyres when running ballistics? There are no 2wd fronts right? Its it just a case of running the 4wd fronts? Also anyone got a B4 setup for Stoke please?! I've never ran it outside yet... Cheers.
