We've even run into situations where the best tire to use is good old greens (thankfully not often)
yeah i've found that pink rears seem to work the best under cold - medium heat conditions, and soft kawada rears to be the ticket when the track is hot.

We (in New Zealand) don't run tyre compounds, or any additives on the track. But we seem to have the right setups to put some good laps / times in
