The tyres play a huge part in the speed of the kart.

Not long ago, TKM were up to a second a lap slower than Formula Blue. TKM then decided to change their tyres. No Other changes.

TKMs are now up to a second a lap faster than Blue.

I've seen a good driver in a Blue on Rotax rubber mix it successfully with the Rotaxes.

Both TKMs and Blue are faster in and out of the corner than Rotaxes, even on their control tyres. The Rotax however makes up a lot of ground when the power valve comes in so its difficult to stay ahead.
