I just wanted to know what kind of rubber slicks you are running, and the compound.
Thanks
Peter
I have tried so many different tires on my 2.1HP V-oneR and I can't get the tires to hook up.
 
Man o man, you have a good list of pro cars in your sig...... word Have you try Take Offs and Yok's? Its most likely your set up if your unable to get the car to grip after you tried so many tires, give us a list of what you were using and how is the surface prepped... I personally had no problem using yok 138g and take off cs32 on simi un-prepped surfaces. You should also add some tire conditioner, those also help a bit...
 
Guys, thanks for the replies, and I have tried all tires you both have listed and tried tire cleaner and conditioner as well.
NO GOOD!!
LOL
Thanks for the suggestions though, and Akina's MTX-2 (thanks for the awsome coments on my wheels man)
Feels good to have people to say that to me.
What sick car(s) do you have man?
Thanks
Peter
 
Have you tried BSR net? They are Kevlar caps. They are hella expensive, but grip almost as well as foams but last a hell of a lot longer than rubbers. They have the look and feel of 1:1 racing slicks.

Check them out.

I have not used them on my rig, but I have driven a ride with them on and they feel really sweet.
