Touring car tires

[Conrad]

Has anyone tried these?

Going by the price they scream basher tire but are anyone of them decent enough to be used as a club tire, even on carpet?

yes i've run them for club racing.. the slick tyres are very similar to RP24's in terms of grip & wear rates. I've run them at club on a carpet with very little grip & actually had tyre squeal when i run them with additive!

The intermediate / cut slick tyres are OK & i would say they are anywhere between an RP27 - RP30 type in terms of grip & wear but don't expect them to last if using them outdoors or on rough car-parks

the full treaded pattern tyres are very good wet tyres so ideal for racing around outside in the rain or some outdoor wet testing & also work well when playing on dry concrete & offer a decent level of grip on carpet but again tend to wear very quick the more abrasive the surface. Once they wear below their best the grip loss will be dramatic & unexpected.

There are also a low profile wheel set with a semi-slick tyre on half gold/half silver rims, very good tyres but perhaps best used on a shelf queen or show car as the rims are fragile because of the low profile nature of the tyre putting more strain onto the rims.

hope this helps
I'd also like to add on the pre-mounted rims, the 20 spoke white wheels are very good, however there is a very wide offset so would put a 190mm car nearer the 200mm offset. The chrome look wheels are like cheese.. they break easily & one set of pre mounted tyres on spoked rims i had to swap as the inner profile of the tyre wouldn't fit over the hub, would be OK on something like a Tamya mini though, so check the inner profile (all the pre-packed tyres should have 1 wheel turned round so you can check the inner side of the wheel)

Just when I was giving up hope of a reply (yeah I know off road forum) but thanks wolfie, plenty of insight there for me and I'll add a set of them to the things to test list ;)

I've been running Schumacher carpet dragons the last wee while indoors on carpet and they grip well, last ages and work without messing about with additive which suits me fine but damn they are a big tire. On inch up wheels to remove the slack I'm on 67mm OD which buggers up the roll centre's alot.
