Response Tires on Wabash narrowed rims!! Thoughts comments?

[Sh1nn3r]

How do you think they wil perform? I just got them for 50 bucks!!!

[Tex]

That's a good deal. Hopefully they are glued up good and cut right, It'd suck if they were all off balance. I'm sure they would be a great tire for the new indoor at Leisure. I guess you'll have to just check them out after the place opens.

I had a couple of sets of responses on wabashes that i narrowed. I really like the tire for its grip and for how little rotating mass there was.. I didnt like the quick tread wear or the tendency for the tire to literally explode. I lost 2 that way...
I still liked them, but went to pythons. I perfer the weight penality for somthing that is as durable and long lasting as the panthers

[Sh1nn3r]

Thanks for the input guys.

I ran Responses at LH last year and I really liked them. They had the perfect amount of traction for the LH dirt.

[Sh1nn3r]

Sooo true.

[snakebite46]

Hot Bodies Stadium tires with some firm foams were the ticket at Leisure when the track was moist.

[snakebite46]

I like the Response tires too. The worked good for me at Lesiure too.

Outdoors, I like Bow-ties the most. then response.

[Sh1nn3r]

Ya but the only thing is they wear out after 2 races then you have to get new one's. I ran mine until there was a big whole in the tire.

[snakebite46]

Yeah I hear ya on the wear thing. But, they are some damn good tires !!!

[satoch]

Yeah Responses wear fast outdoors and don't work as well, but indoor they last OK. It costs money to go fast. Just the way it is.

[rocco79]

It shouldnt cost ya 60 bucks in tires every few races though IMO....

Snake- i just mounted up my HB tires with a WHOLE green foam in them!!!! They are gonna soooooo be the SHizzzzz on indoor tracks!!!! Those lil threads wont have a choice but to bite now!!!!

[snakebite46]

I used an 1/8th scale foam in the middle of mine. Then used the RE foams. Dialed!!!

[Tex]

I'm using the stock soft foams in mine. They are softer than a baby butt. Do those not hook well indoors? Or do they just make the truck feel loose?

[rocco79]

Since the tread is only in the center of the hb tire i think ya need a firm azz foam to keep the tread the contact patch not the sidewall.. But who knows tex. I remember you hookin up like a mutha at LH with traxxas sportmaxx tires with like no foam left in them! LOL!!! remember on your tmaxx?!!!

[Sh1nn3r]

lol

[Tex]

But who knows tex. I remember you hookin up like a mutha at LH with traxxas sportmaxx tires with like no foam left in them! LOL!!! remember on your tmaxx?!!!

Yep those did hook well! They were unpredictable though :eek:

[Tex]

I was thinking
standard size sporttraxx tire
40series RacersEdge foams
Wabash trimmed

I bet that would hook

[Eracer76]

My tire of choice at Leisure's old track was the Hot Bodies tires trimmed to fit on Revo Hurricane wheels with Proline standard size firm foams.
I think my truck was hooked up pretty good last season

I also have a set of Response tires mounted on Hurricane wheels.....IMO, they did not hook up as good as the HB tires did on Leisure's track.
I also tried the Response's outdoors, and found that Standard Bowties work much better. So......I havent used them much, but yet they still look worn out :confused:

[rocco79]

Big E your back!!!!!

Rocco, you're a good enough for a %50 deal! Send out your race resume!

[rocco79]
