FAQs for GRP Tyres
Matching GRP foam tyres to your car means looking at scale, surface and compound. For 1/8 on-road racing, GRP's range spans soft compounds for cooler conditions through to harder compounds for hot asphalt, with specific profiles for sedan, GT and formula classes. 1/10 touring drivers have their own foam tyre range in the right diameter and width. Always check class regulations if you're racing — many Australian clubs have specific compound restrictions. Pre-glued wheel/tyre combos save huge amounts of prep time before race day.
GRP Tyres, made in Italy, has been the dominant force in foam tyre racing for decades — if you look at a 1/8 on-road podium anywhere in the world, you'll see GRP rubber on most cars. Their foam compounds are extraordinarily consistent batch to batch, hold their shape through long runs and offer predictable wear characteristics that let racers plan tyre strategy with confidence. Compound options are deep, allowing teams to tune for specific track temperatures and surfaces. For serious circuit racers, GRP is the benchmark that other foam tyre brands chase.
Yes — we stock a strong GRP Tyres range in our Australian warehouse, covering 1/8 on-road and GT foam tyres, 1/10 touring foam tyres and popular compound options across hot, medium and cool temperature ranges. Pre-glued tyre/wheel combos are stocked alongside standalone tyres for racers who already have preferred wheels. Buying locally is genuinely important with foam tyres — they're time-sensitive products where fresh rubber matters, and importing from Italy can mean long waits. Domestic stock gets GRP tyres on your car quickly when you need them most.
1/8 on-road foam tyres in medium compound are the core bestsellers, used by the majority of Australian 1/8 circuit racers at club and state level. Pre-glued tyre/wheel combos in popular compounds move exceptionally well because they eliminate the gluing step and ensure consistent quality out of the packet. GT-class foam tyres and 1/10 touring foams round out the range with steady demand from dedicated racers in those classes. Compound options at either extreme — very soft or very hard — also sell consistently for extreme temperature events.
