Full Transcript:
Robert Heuke: First day we did Montezuma track. A lot of mud. We then did Killarney's yesterday. A bit of rock, bit of mud, bit of everything in there. Today messing around a little dunes a little bit.
Jared Mendham: Yeah. How did they perform in mud?
Robert Heuke: I found no problem with them at all. Fantastic.
Jared Mendham: Yep.
Robert Heuke: Yep.
Jared Mendham: Cleared out all right?
Robert Heuke: Seemed to clear out all right.
Jared Mendham: Yep.
Robert Heuke: I probably didn't lose traction at all, really.
... no, I didn't think.
Jared Mendham: I was just thinking, I don't think you actually got pulled out at all this weekend, did you?
Robert Heuke: Might have got tricked into a puddle at one stage.
Jared Mendham: Actually, there was one where some fellows with 37s had met a deep hole, so you had no luck with that one. But otherwise, for normal puddles you just went straight through.
Robert Heuke: Yep. No dramas at all.
Jared Mendham: Yep.
Robert Heuke: Yeah, that would [inaudible 00:01:51] ... Oh great.
Jared Mendham: Cool, and on the rock?
Robert Heuke: Found that they gripped really well.
Jared Mendham: Yep.
Robert Heuke: Didn't feel like I was losing traction. That was great.
Jared Mendham: Sure. How did they go on the road?
Robert Heuke: On the road? No dramas at all. Fantastic only. Probably there hadn't been much air in them, they didn't feel so good, but let a little bit of air in on the road, a lot better.
Jared Mendham: What sort of pairs are you running on the road then?
Robert Heuke: About 32. 32 and a half, I think.
Jared Mendham: Oh, okay. That's quite low, really.
Robert Heuke: Yeah but, well I found it comfortable.
Jared Mendham: Yep.
Robert Heuke: First day there on 40, or just under 40 and I just found it a little bit firm.
Jared Mendham: Interesting. Overall, how would you rate the tyres?
Robert Heuke: One to 10?
Jared Mendham: Go for one to 10 if you want.
Robert Heuke: I'd mark them a 10.
Jared Mendham: Oh really? 10?
Robert Heuke: I think so.
Jared Mendham: Ladies and gentlemen, well we have a 10. Thank you very much.
Robert Heuke: No worries.
