| Post subject: | Rubber vs Foam |
Hello, Why alle drivers drive with Rubber Tyres ? 4 Rubber Tyres are here 27.- Euros. And 4 FOAM Tyres are 11.-Euros. When i look the Races many Drivers can use one Set of Rubber Tyres for 15 Minutes (3 A-Main Final) And a set of Foam Tyre you can use 30 Minutes on the NT1. I think the Rubber Tires are very expensive. I heard there some drivers have 50% of the Tyres. And the dealer deserves still. Why ??? Thanks |

You are right rubber tyres are too expensive but I tend to get a few meetings from a set, |

To race competitively with foam tires you have to use tires of a smaller diameter which will race only a few runs - just like rubber tires. Plus more drivetrain wear on the car, plus changing ride height as tires wear and so on. |
