Default Ledbury tyre choice

Hello folks,

Can anyone tell me what the tyre/compound of choice will be for Ledbury next weekend?

Cheers
Wes

I assume Neil is right about it being on astro.

So are we talking yellow minispikes then?

Yes will be on astro, as the grass track needs a lot of work mate. Will be yellow mini spikes if dry.

Well Ledburys other tyre nomination is the Fastrax Turf ripper. But not many people run them and not sure how they respond on the astro there.

I've been told Ledbury is high grip, possibly more so than Cov. So BB greens, Schuey greens and Yellows will probably be what you are looking at.

Early weather indicates it will be fairly likely we will see rain of some sort. So more likely to be on green compounds than yellow.

You will get lots of different answers but I prefer MrO tubby inserts (look on RcDomination).

I find they give the best all round performance for me
