So, I suspect it is from the tire and not the one removed from the track.<br /><br />I still have to try them not sanded. That was what caused that graining on the tires. I agree that it is not the normal degradation we expect from running on Carrera track. Even a Ninco track treats the tires harshly, but never to this point...Hugo Figueiredohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393959324376111736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637041033933467054.post-62522177316843644352009-08-14T16:50:51.866+01:002009-08-14T16:50:51.866+01:00Hi Hugo
