Ufra Tyres

[slow coach]

Hi All

could some one PM me with some model shops who stock Ufra Tyres for 1/12th, or any 1/12th tyres for that matter just to see whats about.

Thanks Jason

Sorry not us, but thanks for the plug Mark :o

I think you will find it is Ted Longshaw Models you need to contact.

Or action model centre.

I have found the UFRA SE medium rears to work well with corally silver fronts if you're not using additive. They're a really grippy tyre, although they wear quite quickly. When I used a brand new set, my car had almost as much grip as it has if I use corally golds/silvers with additive!

If you're using additive though, nothing beats corally golds/silvers and jaco greys/purples.

While we're on the subject of tyres, did I see david spashett using tyres made by a company called gandini at the chesterfield national? I saw it written in a tech chart in a magazine. Has anyone else tried these tyres?

I think that you will find that most foam tyres are made by gandini or (gandini racing products) trc and i beleive jaco as well as fast tyres not too sure about corally though

The GRP tyres all come from the same factory - Fast Tyres, Ellegi, Powers etc etc. We use the GRP (in whatever form) tyres in Touring Cars w/o additive, and they work BRILLIANTLY. Obviously they work better with additive. If you contact Helger they may be able to tell you where they are from, I see from the Helger site they import them.

Mark

used them many moons ago when we ran 6 cell I think the compounds that worked were golds give ted lonshaws a ring they are the importer i think

[Mark Stiles]

I've never used them with additive, although the SE mediums are great tyres (as said before!). I use SE's on the back of my mardave v12, with pink mediums on the front, and haven't found or seen a better tyre combination for use on a mardave without additive.

I would go for corally tyres, or jaco if you can afford them!
