I'm really new to 1/12th but I can tell you what's worked for me so far.

I run a 12R5 in Stock with basically the kit setup on it. Our club's indoor carpet track is EXTREMELY bumpy (it's laid over very poorly poured concrete) and I have found that I need to run 5-5.5mm. I usually run 5.5mm on the back and 5mm on the front and it seems to work quite well.

When I went to a larger regional race last month the track was much smoother and went down to about 4.5 on the back and 4 on the front.

Cheers,
Mike
