1980s bridgestone tyres incredible grip right down to the canvas however new tyres maximum grip very little sliding ( you could push gangbusters made up a lot of ground " hand over fist " by choosing shorter " angles " on corners to cover less ground than the guy in front

[@KrustyKlown]

Karting was better when the tires lasted an entire season. Screwing with changing tires isn't any fun.

[@juxtarepublic6106]

I was racing back in 1985… Karts were so much lighter…. No starter, clutch, radiator, plastics…. electronics etc…. Bridgestone’s YBQ compound allowed unbelievable cornering grip…. “It was pure racing….”
