Re: [F125] tire choices

You know the whole World of SCCA Solo II F125 guys will be on MG Green's with
the exception of me and there was one other guy at Nationals (sorry i don't
remember your name) both of us on Vega's. The reality is both are about the
same but I'm use to driving on the Vega's so thats what i will stick with.

I'm going to steal part of this tread with my own question about the Toledo
Pro. What is the surface like? How big is the course going to be/speed, compared
to say Nationals site? Did you guys run a pro on it last year?

Thanks Again , Russell B.

Looking to get new tires for my kart finally. And now I'm wondering
what to get.

Should I go with something universal like the MG green for good stick
and give up some life. Or maybe a Maxxis HT5 for an even softer
compound (but I can only find them in 6" wheel sizes)? Or maybe
Bridgestone YHA compound tires?

Also, whats the advantage or disadvantage for running 6" wheels over
the 5" ones I have now?

I wore through 2 sets of YHB Stones with maybe 25% life left on them.
I've never been known to be easy on tires, but I hope to learn :)

Also, I live in Texas where it's a wee bit hot now a days :)

Thanks for the help guys.

David, If you are doing anything other than single-lap autocrosses with 5 minutes in between runs, and the weather is cone-melt hot, the MG yellow compound...

Looks like I'll run the MG greens for now then. Maybe trying the Vega XP (and HP if I can find someone in the US that gets them) later next year. Where is the...
