Default Snow Tyres

They actually work very well with a massive amount of grip in the snow, don't think they would go down well on a race track though, might rip up up the surface or the marshalls

I remember doing this years ago with some friends when I raced TC's. we put drawing pins through the tyres cut them down to about 1/2 length then raced on a frozen carpark. They worked quite well and it was fun to try something different like that.

I would love to give it a go on a buggy although marshalling would be a bit more risky than with tc's.

May well blunt those leathal spikes if i have alot of time to waste sometime, not that they would ever be allowed on a race track great fun at the dirt jumps made nearby in the snow, got some really good air time with the tyres when i had a a couple of b4's and driving it around had aawsome corner grip and acceleration

years ogo when racers were mad men for a club meet we dug a track in the snow on the carpark we ran on in the winter.we still had 20people that day with optimas and gold tub RC10s and the odd hotshot or boomarang.One of the lads put nails thru his tyres nad filled them with hard foam, worked well......marshels not so keen.

How many scratches and how much bleeding did you get when you mounted them on the wheels.
