I have silicone tires purely because I needed lots of replacements and getting new tires over here where the slot car scene is not so big, gets expensive when you have to pay so much shipping.

So for costs, I make my own and use the materials readily available, which from my local model shop is a silicone rubber mix.  Happy to make new tires out of more conventional rubber.  Is there any compound anyone uses and would recommend?  I will do some shopping and set up the mold making.

Lap times on the track the owner was getting from rubber tires was about 5.4s, my times were coming in about 6.5 so a tad off and not consistent.  Sponge tire guy was getting low 4.2s.  Will be interesting to see what kind of races they do there.
