Default Astro tyres???

ok i know most of the world and his wife use angle spikes on wet astro, and mini pins (albeit cut heavily) in the dry, but i was trawling through the internet last night and saw some other tyres which looked like angles on the inside but moved too a more gapped minipin on the outside but for the life of me i cant remember where i saw them or who makes them. is there anyone out there who knows, or runs an alternative on astro. i just cant seem too get on with angles, with or without the outer row cut off.

Schumacher Mini Spikes are a great tyre. Available in Silver (Soft) or Yellow (Standard).

Just like 1/10 Mini Spikes, I find them useful from dry to slightly wet, if it's really wet I'd then move onto Spirals.

never thought of spikes, i use a set on the front of the cougar which work well, do you happen too know where i can get a set of both (spirals and spikes),

ok, i take that back just looked on your website, i was thinking about rim sizes though, i know they will fit on v2's but what about putting them on v3's too keep the sidewalls a bit stiffer.

Mini pins with 3 rows outer and two rows inner cut off and demmeled off (must do) for front
Mini pins with 2 rows outer and one row inner cut off and demmeled again
Hardish inserts Front and rear

You can do the same as above with spirals and run in the dry

I tend run mini spikes in wet but some members run dry with one row outer cut and dremmeled off.

These tryes were also tried by a few drivers at Round 2 of the CML Winter Series that is held at Frankley a all astro track and seemed to work very well

The drivers used them as they were with no cutting of the rows and come as non pre mounted or pre mounted ready to use;

You can order theses through any of the dealers which tells you on the contact us part who the dealers are

Hope this helps you
