Inserts
I might be taking this racing lark too seriously now
Inserts - what is generally run inside/outside? Medium? Soft? Any difference front or rear? When I used to take this properly seriously, inserts weren't used, in-fact you used to cut hole in the tyres to make them deform easier. Bri |

I generally use these medium blue inserts in my schumacher off road tyres: http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php...rt-medium.html
I find they don't break up as much as the blue ones from schumacher, and can be used a few times, if removed by cutting the worn tyre. Also, the bargain £1 ones from Castle models, and now Moss Models (York) are also excellent. Danny will tell you to get the AKA moulded closed-cell inserts: http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php...inserts-2.html but they will cause you to wear your tyres down quicker, and I know how you like to save rubber ;-)

that's kinda like asking what pressure should I have in my car tyre,
its a personnel thing really and a tuning option

Well, I run 15 front and 16 rear. Unless loaded with a passenger and luggage for an alpine trip when I go up to 18 on the rear
Just want some idea, as its a bit harder to change than amount of air. What's the idea of 'em? What's the effect of harder inserts compared to softer? Bri |

I just like how the aka's feel. Since using them Ive been lapping quicker and more consistantly. I only use them in mini spike tyres though.
If I had to say how. I find that where the softer inserts could catch and grab on high grip corners, with the moulded they feel a bit safer. I think there is pro's and cons but like I say, I just like them. Get 1 set and try them alongside blue foams |

harder the insert the firmer the tyre will be so in theory the less roll of the tyre should give less side bite,
