MT soft tyres

[Taurus]

Hi, I'm using my mt in racing tracks, but I felt that the original tyres are too hard to grip in those type of grounds.

Is there any aftermarket tyres (with the same measures as the original) softer?

If there's any, could you tell me where to get them ?

thanks

The MT tyres come in Medium & Hard... what surface you running on?

the surface of 1/8TT track

Hard soil (I don't know if is this that you call it)

cheers

Use buggy tires instead when on tracks and you will grip.

that´s an option, but I don't want to loose my car look (big car, and big tires. Bigger than any marder, and baja, and everything :devil:

I think you can get some big wheels and knobbly tyres that are made for Carson trucks/buggies,they are a little bit smaller but still look good,and they work well :cool2: :cool2: if i can find a piccy i will try to post it :cool2: :cool2:

For grip - Yes
For wear - No

They are alot softer and different rubber composition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti9Z_zjXMvo

You could also modify your FG's so that will act more like those.

ahh btb you beat me to it... try cutting slots in them

 

[Taurus]

How do you cut those slots ? Do you use de Tire tread cutter ? Or you do it manually ?

cheers

I discussed this with someone else that drives an FG about 3 - 4 months ago and never tried it.... how does it compare??

Don't try to do it manually you will make a mess of the tyres,i bought an FG tyre cutter and did mine,it did not make a great difference to the way they grip,i think the tyres are to hard,medium or hard that is why they don't grip very well :no: :no:

I don't have a monster but some of the tricks that is used on full sized tires is to sipe the. So how would cuting sipes into the tread work. Might take some trial and error. Start of with a few cuts and slowly add for cuts. Don't take chunks out just cut strait down through the lugs but not into the tire itself.
