💡 Michel's advice (Magickart): the insiders' good deal

"Second-choice tyres are the best-kept secret of the paddocks. My expert advice: why pay top price for a perfectly straight VEGA logo when you are going to burn the rubber in 10 laps?

The SL4 is the 'easy' tyre: it forgives driving errors and steadies the kart's attitude. Whether you race X30, Rotax or even KZ (125 with gears), it offers incredible consistency over more than 300 km. It is the ideal tyre to progress without breaking the bank.

The essentials with your red VEGAs:

• Prisma HPM5 pressure gauge: To set your 0.56 bar to the gram (the SL4 is sensitive to pressure).

• Comfort chrome tyre lever: To fit your new tyres without scratching your rims.

• Tyre covers: To protect the rubber from oxidation between sessions.

A pro secret: every week we go directly to the Vega factory to select the best 'second choice' tyres. At Magickart, we don't sell you old stock, but fresh rubber from the year!"

🛠️ Tutorial: getting the most from your VEGA SL4

1. The first run: New SL4s have a thin protective film. Do 2 progressive warm-up laps to 'open' the rubber before looking for lap times.

2. Pressure: In cold weather, go up slightly to 0.65 bar. In strong heat, stay at 0.55 bar. The HPM5 is your best ally here.

3. Rotation: If you race on a circuit with many right-hand corners, don't hesitate to swap your left/right tyres at mid-life to even out wear.

4. Storage: Keep your tyres in a dry place away from light to preserve the suppleness of the 2024/2026 rubber.

Michel's advice: storage

Storage is the key to performance. To keep all the elasticity of the rubber between two races, keep your tyres away from light and large temperature variations. Before fitting, check the direction of rotation shown on the sidewall to ensure even warm-up across the whole tread.
