NEW Cut Stagger tire

[super__dan]

They are fine on the front of a 4wd, tried them the other week. Noticably more mid corner that a standard stagger, so much so I had a bit too much steering and reverted back to std staggers which are much more pushable.

Hi Dan, what 4wd do you drive now? Not a ZX5 I'd guess

[Dudders]

Are people using foams inside these then?

For someone who has never used stagger Tyres before.......
For 2wd:
Under what conditions would a stagger tyre be used over a mini spike tyre?

And

Under what conditions would a cut stagger tyre be used over a standard stagger tyre?

Really high grip, or if you have a Cougar seems to be the norm. They just settle down the twitchyness of a car, but i found they push quite a bit on something like a CR2. You can get really consistant runs with them though.

I found they bite more on turn in and hold on better through the corner, this is on a CR2 again.

Are people using foams and cutting their wheels down etc?

[flipside]

I cut the inner and outer ridge +-1mm lower, because the tire otherwise doesn't touch the rim well. I also use foams inside and glue them on a wide wheel, just like most people do with slim mini spikes. Didn't try them on narrow wheels yet.

Compared to selfmade dremeld staggers, I find that the new cut staggers give more high speed, but slower low speed steering. Maybe need to try them narrow with softer foams?

Bj4 for the time being with a few subtle changes to stock (Losi shocks, rear shocks on back of wishbones).

Personally as in my trying they they don't give any more turn in but give a lot more in the middle and to some degree exit of the corner. They are essentially a slim mini in carcass and sidewall to it's usual 2wd foams.

My car at Stotfold was ace with these on, really like them (and they hardly wore which I also like )
