Default LB Racing Tyres

http://www.lbracing.co.uk/

So apart from Karl who'm I've met at TRCC who else has used / or is using them?

how do they compare to the others?

do they fit on the Mardave diff?

if they work they should be simpler to understand than all the other Jap / UFRA compounds for me

Dont mean to be picky, but looking at the store form the link provided, there appears to be no options for the front ballraced wheels?
Personally, ive been tempted to try them, but locally, they havent been tried so i'm a little hesitant eg do they take addative better than ufra's etc.

There mostly used on oval so havent needed the ballraced wheels, if you send ballraced wheels to martin he will glue and tru them for you.

I have also been using them to for years, you can get the power down so much earlier through the bends. LB all the way

I've used a pair that I got off Nick ages ago (not sure what compound).

Grippiest rear tyres I've ever used on the Mardave with good life. Very impressed.

I have used them on the rear, very soft and gave great grip but were worn out in 5 runs or so. The wear was fast enough that my ride height was changing noticably every run and the handling wasn't consistent as a result.
I am running on a high grip carpet circuit and used the diff. Might be a lot different on oval, or using solid axle.

I just couldn't get on with these on my Dave, found the fronts great but couldn't get the rear end to stick!!! May just be my driving style!! Moved over to Contacts last night and they were brilliant.
