Hello guys, I'm looking to race my 1/8th scale a bit more this outdoor season and am looking for tire suggestions for the tracks we normally hit: LH, Rockpile, Glitchers, etc.
I've got a good set of Crimefighters so far. What else might be good? TIA...

Panther K2's is a general all around good tire. I like them better than my Cf's.

a set of knuckles will always be useful and a set of the new proline step pins (or step ups I forgot the exact name lol)

i asked about those and the thing is they would possibly make the buggy traction roll on a highh speed turns.

I am pretty sure I have a set of those. Not sure what compound. I also have CF's.
Which one would last longer on cement for break-in?

depends on the compounds, I would rather wear out the crimes though, the K2's are a better tire so keep those fresh. IMO

Bruce, one of the tires i was talking to you about today for summer use is the Treadz Jolly. it's good for tracks that get water,but i couldn't find it listed at a-main hobbies today.might be discontinued.

Mike, that would have been the obvious first choice...lol
I figured he didn't have any other tires so I suggested what I would do in that situation. When I had my MBX5 I ran Crimes most of the time, they are also an all around good tire for most outdoor tracks.
