The most common tyres in the UK tends to be Magenta/Pink or sometimes Pink/Pink, but we have higher grip than the worlds.
Do the US drivers tend to use Blu even when grip is high?
Yep, we use blue and green rears even when traction is high. The blue rears especially feel a lot more consistent over the course of eight minutes when compared to a magenta or pink.

Blue fronts? More debatable, but I think most would use blue fronts in high traction as well. I think the blue fronts offer more steering than a magenta, and also retain that steering for the full run with very little change or fade. Some might go to a pink front in high traction to chill the car out, but the fade with a pink front is way too much for me, personally.
