"New Compound" Indy Grips are made using a compound of silicone & other rubbers in a high temperature, high pressure molding process using all-new tooling.
Benefits include a lack of voids and imperfections allowing installation and subsequent use without any risk of tearing or chunking.
These tires perform well and are durable on the abrasive Ninco track surface where other silicones chunk and tear ! The mass production techniques used help to avoid shortages that have been common with hand made tires.
Nicely rounded sidewalls and realistic appearance just like the original tire are standard as is improved traction on any type of racing surface. Since the rubber is fully cured these will not deposit silicone oils or other contaminants on the track surface as will the conventional tires.
An ID code or part number is molded on the back surface to help avoid confusion if similar tires are mixed.
The toughness of the rubber that makes these difficult to sand, but they can be ground using high speed tools.
