Default Mini Spike 1/8 Tyres!

Though I would let people know about these as there seems to be no news about them yet. Anyway, Schumacher have released the popular 1/10 Mini Spike tyre in 1/8 sizing. Graham Alsop used these last Sunday with success and the tyre looks to be a popular choice for those running on grass or astro turf from now on.

Available in Yellow or Silver compound.

Anyone that knows 10th Off-road, know how much they have monopolized the tyre market on UK grass and astro tracks. Now these are available for 8th and no doubt will be awesome.

Yellow compound for dry
Silver for wet/damp and maybe even dirt tracks!

Well done Schumacher

Mini SPIKES.

I find Minipins too aggressive when the conditions are dry on astro, and wet they may aswell be slick. The Minispikes will have more give whilst gripping from the compound well, and will mean the car can be driven in to corners far harder than with pins!!!
