I use these on tarmac with the hard inserts.These are very hard wearing too,and fit the standard rims nicely.The grip is exellent,even on damp tarmac.!!!!

For tarmac i use the hard coumpound.The fronts are thinner than the rears,but grip just as well : ).Haav had over 15 runs on a 5.5t brushless and they havent even started to really wear yet : )
