Nice thinking, Matt.

Read what he wrote.....

" Although it was QUICKER, it literally killed blah blah...." (my italics)

Note the key words......: "it was quicker...."

Oh..... and I am sure you are educated enough to laugh at the word 'literally', there!

I still LOVE the idea that High Grip tyres would make the engine SLOWER out of cotners..... when no Prokart has EVER had enough power to 'power-slide' out of the a corner on ANY tyres (except in the wet, etc..)

Matt...... use your brain..... by now, you KNOW not to trust other people's opinions.... simply go an TEST it for yourself.

1) Do some laps with your current tyres and time them
2) Fit stickier tyres
3) Do exploratory laps
4) Adjust as you require to make best use of stickier tyres
5) Time some laps
6) Compare

For fun, plot the revs on corner exit of the best laps on BOTH sets of tyres and watch the revs.....

THEN you'll know.... Don't take my word for it!

Ian
