Pixels look similar to aka zipps, most of the tracks in my area are, gridirons/impacts or holeshots/blockade. So I'm gonna give the squares/dirt effects a try kinda excited maybe save some money haha

I run blue when temps are under 90 degrees, and reds when the temps are up. I live in the hight desert and we see summer temps around 115 degrees mid day. I have never run silver compound so I can't comment. Red work great even in high temps.

I am so glad I asked you guys about these tires. So far I see that from your experience , the Sweep tire chart is a little off. What would be cool and maybe I'll give it a go is to Photoshop the chart of "Actual" tire Vs Track conditions. The only thing left would be a few other tires not mentioned but Mainly What tires work on "Wet/Loamy or "Muddy/Slick" Tracks

Square armor or the Defender I believe will be a good choice...

Was what I considered blue groove last year. Did you not think? Indoors, no water, and 850 cars running 3 heats and a main. I thought it was and it's at same venue this year

Default Comparison

Carbides have pins like proline holeshots but with fugitive design! Lets see how they work.

Lot of confusion on compounds. I have a few friends that run proline and from my experience this is how I work the temps with compounds.

Proline m3 = Sweep Blue
Proline m4 = Sweep Silver

There are a few tires in xtra long wear compounds and you can consider them X version.

Defenders are my loamy tire choice with Square Armors being my all around tire go to tire. I have a few others that I have been playing around with under certain conditions and when I feel comfortable with them I will let people know the conditions they work best under. For a holeshot type tire, the dirt effect is great but pick the compound right cause it can be gone in under 30 min tire if picked wrong but man the traction is greater than the holeshot.

Carbides are incredible, They have worked at every track I've been to (4-5 tracks). As long as it's not a mud pit they seem to work.
