okay i was a little skeptical about the blue tires, and everything. since i dont race at ROAR national events, i figured i could use em on my local track, and the one in my backyard.
anyway i unpacked em (you know how most tires smell really funky out of the plastic) well these things had their own unique horrible smell, whihc takes about a week to go away, even after use. but it still is there even after a month if you go witin a foot of the tire.
anyway they are stickier then my pro line edge'sin the m2 compound, and maybe m3. they are also sorta hard. a little harder then the m2's. anyway so i glued em on, and set off. i ran em on the pavemnet for alittle while, NO SIGNS OF WEAR! (no stupid threads or strings hanging off like all my other edge tires) i then tried offroad, they have great grip, and they DONT WEAR!
these things are great for a normal track, where it isnt blue groove, but hardpacked. and even up to the rough stuff. they have been lasting much longer then my pro-lines ever did.
if your track allows em, then i DEFENTLY suggest you check these thigns out.
and espically if you are more of a basher then a racer, you should check these out, will last much longer, and they preform better. however i would get em before the price might go up )the compound costs more). but tower isnt stocking them anymore (horizion is a competiter of great planes)
i have yet to try the rears, since my bow ties are holding up fine. but i will soon!
