Hi all

Got a job lot of schumacher mini spikes off the bay and was wondering is there a knack to knowing which tyres are green or yellow? I can't seem to tell and no paint splodges on them either?


Cheers

The yellows should feel much softer than the greens.

Greens are softer and feel like rubber compared to the yellow compound which is a much quicker to rebound back into shape if you deform the tyre. The yellow also feels more like plastic than rubber - hope that makes sense...

Not sure which way it is, but I think Yellows have a much stronger smell to them to....

Yeah, the yellow compound is a lot softer than the green compound.
