hi
over the last 6 months both ed and stuart rand when he was racing tried to find a better tyre than the full spike we use now.
ed has tried the d-boots range but they did not last 5 minutes and were no better,
we have worked with schumacher to see if they can come up with anything better, we have tried harder inserts, no inserts and cutting the inserts but no better than we have been using.
we have tried the fastrax range , no good
also with the increase in power from boosting the speedo has de-creased the life of the tyre, ed`s tyres last 4 weeks now!!
mini -pins and spike`s are no better than the prime full spike in fact they are slower, and do not last as long 3 full sets used at maritime!!!
we now look at ways of "running them in quicker" last night ed`s tyres were new, only 5 seconds slower than when he changed to "prime" for the last run.
i hope this helps
les
