Stec. I agree with you that the Mojos generally are very consistent hence the queries on here. Whilst the production methods seem to be consistant it may not be a Mojo problem and just may be the storage conditions of the tyres that could throw up the odd rouge tyre, after all it only takes 1 tyre in your set to be 'off' and you have a balance problem. Just look at F1 where the utmost care is taken with the tyres and yet drivers still report an occaisional set that they do not like.
Chris rightly pointed out that he would be happy to send Andy out to race on a 100 lap old set indicating the quality and general consistancy of the tyre, a fact that I would also endorse having run over 150 laps in Spain on a single set yet were still able to produce a lap time.
Strangely at Whilton we had 3 tyres from 1 range of numbers, 2 fronts and 1 rear and at Shenni we had 1 front and 2 rears from the same range.
This is another possibility of where the problem lies and a logical route would be to ensure all sets given out were at the very least from the same range of codes rather than mixed.
With all of the tyres being from the same batch it is far more likely and indeed an easier task to get a balance in the karts handling and it may well be that the differing ranges of codes when fitted as a set will produce this with neither one showing any advantage or disadvantage over the other.
I just hope I am handed a set of 4from the same batch group at the next round so I can test the theroy properly!
BTW. at both Whilton and Shenni out test/practice sets were from the same groupings as each other all 4 being within a few hundred numbers and in each case presented no problems.
