I am a partner in BOSA Tires. Our goal is to provide racers and slot car enthusiasts with a tire product that might fill some of the gaps between what is currently available from other vendors. We curently make over 60 different tires for various OEM replacement and custom applications, and are continually adding more types to our inventory. We use a compound that has been tested on our tracks here locally, and has proven to be a winning combination. Local racers are using our tires with great success on routed as well as plastic tracks. Our tire testing has included multiple heat racing conditions, as well as enduros in actual competition. All the tires we produce are individually inspected for fit and finish. We do some detail work on the tires after the molding process to try to improve the tires overall look for racers that like more detail. We are very interested in getting feedback from our customers so we can further improve our product and provide racers with exactly what they are looking for. Any comments you may have, positive or negative, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ======Bill @ BOSA Tires bosatires.com/

I have tested some narrow BOSA tyres that Monte sent to me on one of my Tasman cars. They are the same size as Ninco 21 x 7.25. On Shelmore Park track they perform very similar to Paul Gage Extremes and better than the narrow MJK. The only tyre that has more grip are my own 35 Shore tyres. Later this week I will fit them to one of my IPS cars and see how they compare on a slightly heavier car.

I highly recommend that ALL OPEN WHEEL PROXY RACERS check out Bosa tyres. The reverse side of the tyre has a great finish, and there are no bubbles aparent in the tyre. An naturally they grip the track like a urethane tyre should. Pleas check out Bill's websight, address below: bosatires.com/Chris

Thanks Chris, we appreciate the nice words!
We do our best to eliminate air bubbles in the tires we mold, but I will admit we do get some from time to time. As rule I try to set those tires aside as blems. We try to keep enough inventory to supply our customers with the best tires in regards to appearance as well as function.

Just received my order - no testing yet but I am impressed by the appearance and finish - look like they came from a 2 part mold -smooth rounded reverse side.

More on the BOSA tires: I fitted a pair to the Mitoos wheels on a sidewinder Jag XK 120 that I will be running in the first race of the IHSR season tomorrow. My initial impression based on the smooth, rounded rear face and the clearly visible "Ninco" and "20 X 7" was confirmed. I use a German tire truer similar to the Area 3 and Tire Razor and these tires required less initial grinding to get them round and flat across the tread than any other urethanes that I have used. The tread of the Ninco pattern was still visible after the initial stage was finished.
I'll check back after some track time.
