Yokomo CRT 1/12th scale foam tyres

Coming from Yokomo are the CRT foam tyres for 1/12th scale pan car racing. They are unique the a way that they utilise different diameter foam rings, allowing to use the inner ring as it is while the outer ring need to be cut to 115mm of length before using it on 37mm diameter wheels for practice purposes. Each foam ring is 3mm thick meaning the tyres are nearly race ready to current standards. The CRT foams are available in several compounds such as the L rubber for high-grip CRC carpet, the intermediate R variant for all-round and low traction use while the S compound is best suited for mid-traction ETS-style carpet. The L and S rubber is available for the front and rear while the R compound comes for the rear end exclusively and each set includes a total of eight rings, four small and four large.
