I tried several configurations of tire sauce, tire warmers, and belt dressing to get the PF tires to work. This is even after a hefty heat cycle and saucing routine at the house before I left.

In the end I used a heavy coating of traction compound, let dry, then a coating of belt dressing to work the best. The tires came in after a few warm up laps but still required an easy trigger finger to keep from drifting out.

I think these tires will do fine if we can come up with a way to soften them up. Maybe a set ran for a full indoor season will make a good set for the next outdoor season.
