Looking at getting back into Hotrods (Mardaves) with regards to tyre sizes.

What sort of size (front & rear) should I be looking at truing my tyres down to?

Cheers

Lee

I like to leave the rears as they come out of the packet (54/55mm) and the fronts down to about 48mm with a rounded shoulder.

48/46mm fronts and 48/50mm rears and you can run them for ages on that. The fronts I use I've had on for 2 years now and they're still plenty left.

Compounds you want are 44,46 and 48 fronts and v54p rears.

Just sorting the Tigra shell....still undecided on what to run in it Question either 13.5 and Nimh's or (NEW) G2 and Nimh's?? only reason for running Nimh's with 13.5 is that I have 3 new'ish packs that aint been used....plus just spend a ruck on stuff for the Mini class in the Ardent Winter Series......OH BTW I wont run the Hotrod at Ardent (unless it's in practice) as I dont want to upset anyone Laughing lol!

Yeah at the end of the summer series you were the pace setter in f1 so you should be ok, or are you lowering the expectations before you race and destroy everyone Laughing
