Q foam offers more performance than A foam in most conditions. It does however have higher wear rates so needs to be replaced slightly more often than A. It works great on ETS type carpet. Compared with T foam it is capable of matching T foams performance on lap time, although it has a tendency to lose some of its performance throughout the race when using all non-oil type additives such as SXT3.0 or Nosram Carpet.

Introducing Contact Tyres first Touring Car rubber tyre. The new Contact A30 is a preglued tyre build designed for indoor carpet racing. The A30 tyre has been developed and tested by Schumacher Racing's experienced staff and team drivers to provide excellent traction and wear rates for the vigour's of carpet racing.

The A30 is built on a Schumacher Revlite 24mm wheel and lightweight black foam insert usually found in other popular carpet spec tyres.

Glued using Schumacher's in house automated gluing process which accurately controls the glue flow rate and quantity to ensure perfectly glued tyres every time.

While every effort is made to make the perfect gluing, drivers should always check the tyre is properly glued.  Re-check after every run.

Q foam offers more performance than A foam in most conditions. It does however have higher wear rates so needs to be replaced slightly more often than A. It works great on ETS type carpet. Compared with T foam it is capable of matching T foams performance on lap time, although it has a tendency to lose some of its performance throughout the race when using all non-oil type additives such as SXT3.0 or Nosram Carpet.

Contact Grip-R is a specially formulated tyre additive for rubber tyres for both carpet (Rug) and Tarmac (Road) conditions.

A thin style additive which is very good in low to medium traction conditions.   Thinner additives have been finding favour on tarmac on the new style rubber tyres such as the Contact A34, Contact A30 and Rush 32/36, this additive is an ideal solution to provide that extra Grip! 

A large 100ml bottle with excellent sponge applicator, this additive is very easy to use.  Apply for 10-20 minutes and allow to soak into the tyres, wipe off with tissue or a towel before the run.

This is classed as a hazardous material by our shippers and consequently cannot be sent by air transport outside the UK.  UPS Road is OK.

Within the UK it can only be sent by UPS not post.  You must be logged into the website to see shipping methods.

T foam is the most complete in the range. It benefits from performance and lap times equal or better than Q foam, with the added benefit of being easier to drive, less twitchy and easy to attack the track with. This often leads to improved lap times. It also has much better durability, lower wear rates (close to A foam) and when using the non-oil type additives, keeps grip to the end of the race much better than our other options. This tyre is great on all carpet types.

If required, use Contact Arbour number J011.

• Asphalt Speciality: Japanese foam ("Jap") is generally designed for outdoor asphalt tracks. It is described as being "tough as nails," offering excellent wear characteristics (sometimes described as wearing "like iron").
• Performance: These tyres are known to provide solid grip, but rather than wearing down in small chunks like some other foams, they tend to melt and become very sticky under high heat, which can be advantageous for keeping grip in long races.
• Density & Feel: They are typically denser than some American-made foams. While they are a great choice for asphalt, they are generally not recommended for carpet, as the high friction can cause them to pick up too much debris and lose performance.
• "JAP Carbon" Variation: Sometimes listed as JAP Carbon, this signifies the compound is mounted on a stiffer, black carbon-reinforced rim, which offers better handling and responsiveness.
• Shore Hardness (Sh): The "Jap" compound is available in various Shore hardness ratings (e.g., 32Sh, 35Sh, 37Sh, 40Sh), allowing racers to tune for different levels of grip.

After months of tests on several different tracks including 2 weeks of testing in Thailand on the circuit which will host the 1/10th World Championship, we are pleased to announce a new double compound front tyre.

With excellent feedback from multiple World and European Championship winners Robert Pietsch, Dario Balestri and Andy Moore we can conclude that these new tyres give more steering on all the tracks and in varying conditions.

The tyres also help to avoid traction rolling problems which can occur on high grip tracks or finals where larger tyres are used.

Available in 4 different hardness's, Soft, Medium, Hard and Super Hard all mounted on our black carbon rim.

Sold in pairs of two.
