"slick tyres"

[john333]

As a few might have noticed, last night Gareth tried some Schumacher slick tyres (Rascal 1/10th buggy, part number U6720) and while they didn't give the grip of a new mini pin they were actually very good (less than a second per lap slower than my car)

As a club we are thinking of bringing it in as a control tyre, (along with Broxtowe who are also thinking about it)

The benefits are that they will last for ages and they wont wear the carpet out.

The only possible downside is that they need additive, but that is readily available and lasts ages too.

Can you all put your thoughts down on here, both for and against and we will look at the outcome and decide in a few weeks.

Obviously if we do bring them in as a control tyre we wont turn people away if they don't have them that week, and we could think about having a small stock of them trackside for people to buy.
