Tyred?
Any one else have trouble with new (ish ) tyres?
I've been running in a new set for 5 weeks of practice they are nearly worn out but still haven't come good. I want to race not play a tyre lottery. |

Exactly the same boat as you James with the current set. About 5 weeks in and they are 50% worn in / out, but are producing very little grip. Don't know if we got a bad batch or what really. I know Elliott was having problems as well.
I guess the only answer is to mount up a fresh set and start the bedding in process all over again

Think we might have coped a set of grellows, or the more recently popular grillvers!!!

They're wearing consistently, and seem to have forward bite, but just lack side bite. One minute understeer, one minute oversteer.
Mind you the floor last night was deffo on the slick side, and having a duff front driveshaft that I only discovered prior to round 3 probably didn't help my evening.

As we tried nearly before!
To go to a tyre that may not be as fast but will work straight from the packet and when worn out we start again. Both mini pins and minispikes yellow work from new (ive tried both) no not as fast but this not want we are trying to achive. All we need to do is ban the current tyre then all in the same boat and stop this nonsense with who's on a prime set of tyres trying to plan endless good tyres or as above posts this may not happen. Maybe running a more popular tyre in yellow will mean that we get what we want a true yellow compound talking with Les and the amount of demand for the current crap is low. i start the vote for a change of controlled tyre hope this will not start a war of words as im sure there will be negatives to my post. |

Wheeeyy! nice to know I'm not the only one fed up with Schumacher's latest multi compound full spikes! I always end up with grellows, and more recently had a set of grillvers!

As for tiers, iv been trying to run them in for the last 9 weeks in practice but they are the worse set of tiers i have owned. This past wednesday there was signs of them finally gripping which gave me a better night then i have had the last few weeks, funny that because James said to me as the christmas tree was on the stage " Ask santa for some Grip " well he gave me some for the night and i BEAT you lol haha Anyway the racing was good between me & you, i enjoyed it. |

Silly question time
But are you sure its the tyres not the new varnish they have used on the floor. i bet the new varnish is more pu based so taking less rubber, thus more wheel spin an higher wear. The dboots pin tyre were mega at moto arena but didnt work at fav. |
