Tire suggestions

Post by Nordic Championship 1/8 Buggy 2024 1y ago Setup/Tips
This year we will be racing with open tires at the Nordics which brings back the element of some tire games. To make your life easier we have conducted a list of tried and tested tires at the event!

__________________________

The track is similar to any oiled tracks and offers rather high grip with a number of astroturf sections. This makes tire selection key in terms of grip as well as handling.

On the image below the tires with the green outline are best suited for a damp track. Rest of the tires will work on all dry conditions between 20-30 °C. Current long term weather forecasts suggest nice Nordic summer weather of around 25 °C for the event, but as we all know we have our rain here from time to time.

The recommended tires for dry conditions ☀️

6MIK DASH:

In compounds of either Inter or Blue depending on the specific track conditions. This tire offers good grip on the line with consistent wear and easy handling.

6MIK MISTIK 2:

In compounds of either Inter or Blue depending on the specific track conditions. This tire offers direct handling with good grip and can be defined as being in between on the Magma and the Dash.

6MIK MAGMA 2.0:

In compounds of either Inter or Blue depending on the specific track conditions. This tire will be providing the fastest laptimes but the directional and agressive feel of the tire makes it harder to drive compared to the other threads by 6MIK. This thread also has the highest wear as the small pins tend to wear out faster.

Hot Race Sahara:

The multiple time EFRA Euros winning tire is also the top choice at the Nordics from Hot Race. In Clay compound all dry conditions should be able to be handled with this tire.

Sweep Nanobite:

In blue compound a much used tire by the locals that offers neutral driveability and decent wear characteristics.

Matrix Blackhole:

The widely successful bar tire from Matrix in Clay Soft compound that offers neutral yet direct driveability similar to the MISTIK 2 by 6MIK.

The recommended tires for damp conditions 🌧️

6MIK MAGMA 2.0:

In XS compound made for wet weather running which maintains its softness even in damp conditions and offers reliable grip.

Hot Race Bankok 2.0:

The small pin tire in their cold weather Clay compound, the White compound. The compounds  allows the tire to grip even in damp conditions and the high pin maintains traction over the astro turf sections.
