kalbfellp 87 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Alan: You must be getting a lot better tyres than we can get here. I was buying in bulk to try and make up some "sets" They were so far out of round that they could not be trued. I know of one retailer that imported a large quantity and could not sell any of them. That was about 12 months ago. Phil Edited July 31, 2007 by kalbfellp Phil Hobart Miniature Car Club Tassie Resins Email Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BEEJAY7 3 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 I reckon your getting the "seconds" Phil..... I've got them fitted to over two hundred cars now, and I've only ever had a problem with one pair, when the tyre split when I was trying to fit it. As for truing, it must be done on the car so that all elements come into play. I found it useless trying to true then on a Hudy, strangly NSR are the exact opposite they like to to be trued on a Hudy but if I use my truing combs on them they just crumble. Have you tried Colin and Robert at RS Slotracing?. Regards Alan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kalbfellp 87 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Terry: I do know that Chris Osborne has a good range of spares now. when I got mine no one was stocking them here. I have been using them for about 6 months and like them. Some guys think they even have too much grip. They come in two grades with different grip levels. I like them. I have them on my DUPR car so I am sure some of the proxy drivers can give you some feed back how they perform on other tracks.
