or the flip side, to push more away from RCP. RCP doesn't make tires nor do the tire manuf. have a stake in RCP sales. if anything, they have been pushing to move away from RCP.

all the shops that sell RCP also know the headaches that come with dealing with Kittrich Classic example of great product, poor distributor.

in all the years we've had tracks, i don't think we've ever really paid attention to what tires were used on them. it all makes sense though when you think about how the reports of track inconsistencies, etc.

on topic though, when we got our grey tile RCP track that was super slippery, we washed the entire track with brooms and a very mild dish detergent. it made a significant difference. never thought about steam cleaning a track. temp, moisture, humidity all play a very big part in track performance of any material.
