Hey, what's the best insert for schumacher silver mini spikes?

Am guessing it needs to be quite hard?

Cheers

I have always run Schumacher mediums in mine, no problem at all.

Could some one point me to a colour and firmness chart for mini spikes or write it here so I can screen grab it because I'm always forgetting which is which and what suits what conditions and terrain.
Cheers

Blue - The hardest available, a general purpose, hard wearing compound.

Green - Slightly softer than Blue, generally used as a good all rounder from wet through to dry conditions.

Yellow - Softer. The racers choice! The benchmark tyre compound for all others to try and beat. Used in dry conditions.

Silver - The ultimate dirt/dust tyre. Very soft.

Soft - The CAT original. Winner of the Worlds!!

B30 - High grip tarmac compound.

Very useful post! :thumbsup:

But what is this 'Spiral' tyre? Is it only 1/8th scale?

Where do white and pinks fit in?
I only race on grass so would like to have a choice between a wet compound and dry compound tyre. I currently use greens but have some whites and a used pink. I find the best tyres are generally the newest but would like to know which compounds I should stick with.
