new tyres

who will be running new tyres for round 2?

very good question...
Plus I 've got another one to you Luke ;which tyre additive all you top guys were using? In a tin ?!?

well started of using much more stuff then think they found it to over heat tyres to much so went to cs high grip which i liked alot

Cheers Dude
Well done good result as usual ...
Does people usually buys new set every Round?

last year i did with the vtech but this year im not sure cos these tyres feel alot harder so mite not need to but i think def u wont need to in stock

FWIW,my tyres had been used for 2 clubnights before rr..and they still look ok.but got a new set to fit(if needed).

Mine didn't seem to wear at all but as I had a plop result I will be using new tyres at the next round.

A tip from some of the "top" drivers that I found out on tues night is to glue the outer wall of the tyres, this stiffens the tyre up and generates better grip and makes the car handel a lot better.
Also check through the day and make sure that the tyres have not come unglued, mine did as I found out after the meeting.

As for additive I always use corally carpet jack, this comes in a white tube or a silver tin (probably the one you saw Ali) it seems to work on most tracks indoors and out!

I always apply some glue to the front tyre's outer walls and I 'M also using cjack
my car was really good @ the second half of the day but you know the rest

i glued my the side walls after the second round when the grip was coming up

how do you apply the glue Luke?
direct or with cotton buds?

cotton bud

another good thing to try is when applying addative on the rear put it on the side walls

hi all,how does gluing tyre side-wall help with the handling.cheers

i found it helped when going round the sweeper the tyre was diggin in at high speed so glueing em is like putting more air in road tyres it just stops its gripping on the side wall but doesnt effect most corners as the speed isnt there

limits the front Roll ... but it's well known and not very very effective thing ...

i wouldnt bother doing it in stock as u need as much grip as possible so u can carry corner speed
