I have recently been running the TRc green rims foams.. I use to run for BSR, but i dont want any sponsors anymore.. I like the rim color, and ive seen alot of guys fast on these tires.. But i do have a few questions..

does anyone know the current duro rates for these tires.. Ive found some online, but they are for the older and newer ones..

The reason i ask, is i just bought a huge lot of them.. There is a bunch that have lost the stickers, and are not marked.. i need to know how to find out what compounds they are.. some of the tires have the name mike vocala on them.. but that is not who i bought them from.. some also have c-2 a-2 ect on them but no stickers..

white, gray, black, green, blue, pink, purple, magenta, tan, brown, ect ect.. some of the stickers on them show one compound but you can feel they are definatley harder.. anyway if anyone has any info that would be great.. Oh and how do you tell the diff between and rubber with the same duro as a exotic or natural.. thanks in advance..

one last thing does anyone know where i can get some white rears.. most places i have seen only have black rims.. id like to keep them all green.. thanks

The green rims you have are discontinued. Trinity made the switch back to black rims some time ago. There are still some of the older stock still kicking around. I run at K&N in Connecticut, they still have some compounds on the green rims if your looking to stock up. I still have some used on the green rims also, but don't have a durometer here with me, when I get access to one I'll take some measurements and e mail them to you.

Mike, get ahold of "THE BAT"....I know he has LOTS of used TRC's, and might even have a bunch of new ones left over before going to BSR.....

The old TRC Green/Yellow wheels are the GRP made tires. They are now sold through TOWER HOBBIES, but they show the whites are out until late December

Yeah i know that trinity is hooked up with jaco now.. I like the grp foam on the ygreen rims , thats why i want the green rims.. I was never a fan of jaco foams.. I know they are fast, but the ones ive used always chunked.. i never had issues with tm, bsr or these trc's chunking..

SW i saw some listed on tower as well.. Im more less looking for people who want to sell out what they have left.. Since trinity' switch i have found a few guys who are seling the grp style ones.. white, and gray rears and black fronts are the main ones im still looking for.

oh also burbs all of the tires are gonna be black/pink/purple fronts and pink/white/grey rears and that should be it thats all we ran at the track we raced on and i pretty much coached him the whole time he raced so i know what they are. as for the durometer readings your in a tuff spot there. obviously for fronts the blacks will be hard than the pinks the softest so thats 1 clue and the purple being the hardest. as for the rears god bless you the white and grey durometer to about the same 27-33 and so do the pinks so the rears will be tough. and i believe the blacks fronts are about 35-38. hope this helps i know you got them from someone in rhode island because the a-2 c-2 etc is how he labled his tires and mike vocola is his name i'll try and find out for ya though.

Mike, the only help I can give is, look at the tire at an angle in the light, the natural rubber tires will have a pearl essence to them (slightly sparkly) but to tell the difference between a white and green, well your on your own there :confused: .
