Hi guys, about to venture back into the world of F1 racing and can't remember for the life of my the compound of tyre I used. These are the F103 exceed foam tyre. Is it soft rear and medium front or hard fronts?

Thanks

Chris

Can't help much with the F1 Exceeds, don't know anyone who has used them, but a lot of people are happy with the F109 kit tyres on all makes of F1.

Based on the tyres used on my f103, 25 shore rears and 35 and 37 shore fronts depending on the track, I would presume soft rears and then the choice depends on how much steering you want, the hard fronts should make the car easy to drive with understeer, with the mediums giving a lot more steering. Based on the 1/12th Exceeds there shouldn't be a large difference between the medium and hard fronts.
