Intermediate Tyres

The Tyro kart that I am currently racing (No. 93) races on intermediate tyres! (See the picture below)


Intermediate tyres have many advantages but also have many disadvantages. One of the advantages is the fact that you do not have to change your tyres during the day. Another advantage is the fact that one set of intermediate tyres usually lasts for the whole race season (March to October).

However intermediate tyres do not perform very well, in my opinion, in wet conditions! When racing a Tyro, in the rain, as soon as you hit the brakes or turn a corner it spins out of control - however this was probably because I was still getting use to the handling of the kart, I'm sure that my driving in the wet conditions will improve in time!
