Mini-Z Tire Question.

[FastEddy]

I'm seeing that the tires for the Mini-Z are advertised as being available in different Degrees.

What does this mean?
Are the tires beveled in various degrees to compensate to camber?

I Think it's degrees in offset on the wheel.
You read it right?
I know that they come in different compounds (from soft to hard).

 

[vbgagnon]

I come in different compunds too.

 

[RatzoRC]

Ahhhh............YUCK!

hahaha. a little too much info.

 

[FastEddy]

No, The offset is an wheel issue and the degrees is a tire issue.
As I read, I think its the way they describe the CUMpuound for the tire but I'm not sure.

 

[FastEddy]

Found my answer.
Degrees is the compound hardness.
Weird but thats what they call it.

Now I just need to find out if a higher number is softer or harder.
I'm looking all over seems to be a secret.

In a durometer test for hardness, the higher the number, the harder the material.

You are right, I just found this. Just bass ackwards

On rubber hardness degree of hardness smeller the number softer they are.
