UFRA TYRES

For many years UFRA tyres have been a byword for quality in foam rubber tyres. Many top drivers all over the world place their trust in the exclusive foam rubber used by UFRA, which is bonded to high-quality wheels in Switzerland and finish-ground with great accuracy. Large numbers of weekend drivers also appreciate the crucial advantage in terms of grip offered by Ufra tyres.

With immediate effectGraupner / GM-Racing is able to supply all the 1 : 10 and 1 : 8 scale on-road foam rubber tyres made by the Ufra company.

The special high-grip rubber provides the crucial advantage in terms of adhesion, especially in so-called "low-grip" conditions, combined with reduced rates of wear. As a good starting combination we recommend 36° tyres front and rear for 1 : 8 cars in ambient temperatures of 20° C. For 1 : 10 scale models 38° front and 40° rearare a good starting point. Basically the softer compounds offer higher grip and the harder compounds lower grip, but combined with reduced rates of wear. At lower temperatures softer compounds are preferred; harder compounds are better at higher temperatures.
