Hi Nathan,
Did you order the Formula V off of the web? What quantity will do a set of tires to try it out? Thanks, Bill P. |

i've used http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/ to good success. i wouldn't mind finding a more west coast distributor, though (summit doesn't carry the stuff). shipping takes a while with RPW.
i do three-four coats per day for three consecutive days, then allow the tires to dry for three days before using. http://www.formulavtraction.com/ |

I tried some once. Don't remember the brand. I used it on the old BFG g-Force competition tires because they would lose their grip after one track session. When I tried the conditioner, they would grip like they were new for about 2 laps, then go back to being slippery again. This may not be the fault of the conditioner, because the tires were crap to begin with. BFG used to make a good tire, but they must have changed their compound. After buying 3 sets of the crappy tires, I finally switched to Kumhos. The V710 Kumhos work great.

I use it on my auto-x tires and works great, 50 second runs means I don't use it up before the end of the event., works fine for me and saves me $$$$$$.
