Found a 'NEW' pair of 4wd ones whilst routing through my tyre box whilst sorting out things to sell. Rears have a different shoulders to the tyre. Sure they may be the yellow compound.

What surface were these for?

From memory they were an earlier carpet / astro tyre, they came a couple of years before the current and long running mini pin.

Not sure what compounds they were made in, I remember blues, but not sure what else.

I think they also made them in pink compound. God they bring back memories.

According to the Cat 2000 manual, they did them in Green, Blue and BIBX.

Weren't they intended to be a dirt tyre, I remember they had a tall squishy sidewall?
I think the only ones I ever saw were BIBX, possibly being used at Aire Valley - I can't remember exactly as I was about 9!

BIBX would have been for dirt Rich, but I can't imagine anyone running blues on dirt!!

I got some of them knocking about, they were designed to have a smaller inner diameter so when the car was mid corner the diff wasn't loaded up as much, they were funky to run, only ever remember seeing them in Blue compound for carpet racing.
