From my experience, Sticky kicks didn't have as much grip, or last nearly as long as SXT
I guess overall grip; at least in the first few laps until the tires burn off the sauce.

I guess I have my answer here and you should use tire sauce in 1/12 foam tires. To my knowledge sauce is meant to break down and expose new rubber which would in turn produce better grip.

If the foam tire soaks the sauce for all its worth I didn't really see how sauce could even help at all.

I wasn't sure if the concept applied to foam tires only touring car rubber tires.

I might try Yellows at back and blacks up front and apply sauce very sparingly.

Sorry for the rookie question and thanks for the help.
