it appears that schumacher yellow minipins are a popular choice, but could people post what OTHER tyres seem to work on the track? 2wd/4wd/front/rear...
ps - what's the wear rate like, and what are worn tyres like on the track too? and what tyres would be suitable when it's wet (heaven forbid)?
cheers all!!

We also used to run Schum minispikes at Kampenhout. They had the advantage that they had more grip when you wandered off the racing line but in the end, we found the minipin more consistant and - above all - last longer.
Slightly worn minipins work OK (especially in 4wd) as long as you don't wander off the racing line. I personally don't like completely fresh minipins at Kampenhout. I run new tyres for 5 minutes in pratice before I use them during the race, but this is a personal preference. Others will disagree.
For wet weather : Ballistic minipin pink or green. The green works better when the track is drying out after a shower, put in general pinks are the safest bet in wet weather.
Front : Schum staggered rib yellow in 2wd AND 4wd (believe me : it works)
In wet weather : Ballistic minipin pink both 2wd and 4wd
