It's one of their r/d tires.... Zero tread wear. They say it's not for street use as yet .... But it's a great improvement.

the lower the tread wear the softer compound thus higher grip

I know you kidding..........................You kidding.. Right

Barnabas is correct...Because of how soft it is and good grip the tire will only last a few hundred miles

he said 0 tread wear RATING....which is how it works. lower number=higher wear rate but increased grip.

hahaha, i misread what he said, when he said zero tread wear, i took that as the tire didnt wear any, or no tread wear, ie lasted forever. thats what confused the hell outta me. i was about to say, they have reinvented the wheel.

Default Racelogic TC

I have racelogic tc intalled. I got Precision 1600cc injectors. Now they are really Bosch 1680cc's, just restamped. They are labeled as low impedance but in reality they are 4.8 ohm. So that's great since they are most compatble w/ the TC
I got the inceptors from Injected Performance

About the TC: it's just awesome, making traction so smoth.
Now I could even let my wife drive it
And as a bonus I got a launch control

interesting, the precision 1600's that are labeled low impedence are 4.8ohms. So those would have to be tuned on a haltech as high impedence then.

soo, racelogic works with what ems?

Racelogic said that anything less than 6 ohm would eventually fry the system..... I take that to mean it would burn out over time.

How long have you been using those injectors with that TC??

The Racelogic will work with any EMS.....you can get it with Plug and play also from another company.

The setup is def cleared by Advanced Motorspotrs and Engeneering in UK. I got my TC from them. I think they have developed another software, that may be the explanation, though I never asked why it works, just that it does. You can contact Dan: advancedme@gmail.com
I really love the TC

The tire size is 305 x 25 x 20

I don't think I will get 2k miles on these tires....it's the same compound used on their rain tires....and is the same reason I feel it will not be a good buy for regular use. They will cost over $500 each.

Mike,
If they are the same compound as a wet race tire......they will not handle heat at all. Do some test runs. We ran some michelin wet tires on a porsche cup car on the street to get it to a vinyl place (for wrapping)...maybe 30 miles round trip on a summer day...tires were already chunking. So just do some test driving and see.

Terry was handling the design....I have not spoken to him in a while....I have a bad habit of trying to do too many things at one time. I will check with him.

Yeah...the full race rain tires with do that.....this one is a mixture of two compounds. The center is very soft and the outer edge is harder. They seem to grab better for now.
