THE WERKS TIRES W,s IN R200 WORK WELL AT OUR TRACK WHEN DRY AND DUSTY BUT THE BASE IS CLAY

how hard is your track surface? Seems crimefighters have always been a good place to start.

If the track is really hard, those cubics could be great.

crimefighter m2 or bow-tie m2 are always good. If you are still searchin' for traction I would go to a softer spring.

great tire for those conditions is the proline stepup....

pro line dirty harry (M2), if you can find them anymore, sweet ass tire for dry and dusty conditions.

You could even try shaved crime fighters (M2) or bowties in XTR.

Jason Halvorson 05-28-2007 05:19 PM

you can still pick up the dirty harry's at www.amainhobbies.com, along with the proline mugshots... i love those when the track is wet and sloppy...

i ran a set of cubics on a dusty dry track....one 5 min qual later they has no center pins...50.00 down the crapper.

I think the new hole shots would work perfect for a hard, dusty, and dry blown out 1/8 track.

That's why it's important to water your track regularly inbetween heats and rounds. Our track will do that if you don't water it. I compleatly balded a set of Komodo Dragons because of it one sunday.

Oh yeah, thats also a good tire. Panther Komodo Dragons
