The time to trim the tyre is enormous, I have to trim two sets one for me and one for my son.
I can't get my head around this.
Once I have used all I have I will not race with them again.

Rant over

I also think all items for sale should have a photo, if there is no photo I would not buy it anyway.
Well put Duncan
To make the tires work I had to cut the centre 2 rows out, then cut the inner and outer rows off and dremmel them smooth THEN! glue the outside wall of the tire. Believe me by the time I had done my tire prep for the recent Christmas meetings I had probably got 1 complete cactus tyre in my lungs via my nose and mouth breathing the dremmel rubberdust.
Do Schumacher do dust masks

Since we have been using them on the 2wd rear we have noticed a twitchy back end so we resorted to cutting the inner and outer edge off those too and new they work better, once again more rubber.

Talk about a rubber Turkey for Christmas believe me I was stuffed with rubber.

But overall LOVE the tyre and a huge thanks to Schumacher. NOT!

Rant over, Hope you all have a great year coming.

P.S. Duncan your rant is in the the wrong place
