Ibeam has less steering and a more rounded profile, just an all around "smoother"driving tire. The crossbrace is gonna be a little more grippy and have
a bit more aggressive feeling.
Both are oldschool patterns that i rarely see run anymore, and then its Ibeam.
Other than plow fields there is very little these 2 tires will do that a gridiron won't do faster.
Never really cared much for either, the PL suppressor is a better loam tire and the Sweep battle star is a better Bowtie/I beam tire in my opinion.
What does your track look like?

Thanks for the info.Loamy tracks, not consistent and sometimes not properly maintained.Changing conditions can throw the car off track frequently.What do you think?

New tires these days are not made for the traditional dirt tracks of yester years. Many local tracks still don't have the proper dirt or equipment to make tracks like the ones pros drive on. I find that blockades and impacts work well for tracks with a line developing. No tire will work well in a loam heavy condition. If anything, you can go old school and use city block/I beam combo. Once the line starts to develop, you can switch to the modern dirt tires. You can also check out the PL switchblades which I heard good things about.
