Re: New Skippy Car Components Survey #2 of 8: TIRES

I like the G Force, and since track records keep falling running them I think their performance is more than up to the task. I ran the old slicks and think the pro's do not outweigh the cons for us amateur drivers.

Treads on everything except Kiddie National, for Old Guys National I would leave it to them to decide. Would slicks for the Masters Nat increase the cost of that series?

And since the 'sexiness factor' is mentioned as important with wings and slicks, well I guess I am just getting old but I like the look of the treads on the R/T, I really think they look great, could be that vintage side of me creeping in again. On the new car they may look out of place though.....
